Some question about parentage, see References.
McGredy often used 'Hamburger Phoenix' x 'Danse du Feu' in his breeding, and HelpMefind can find no reference to him using the reverse. The seed parent may have been the 1959 'MACmerced' red shrub which had 'Hamburger Phoenix' x 'Danse du Feu' as parents.
