Codename seems imply a known second rose in the cross, low, so probably short for Flower Circus. I would guess Sunset Flower Circus based on traits and timing, which makes me wonder if Orange Flower Circus was bred from Queen of Hearts.
Ok, thanks Lyn. I was thinking it was part of its official name, like "Lion's Fairy Tale," or "Floral Fairy Tale." I know "Fairy Tale" is Kordes' disease resistant class, but wasn't sure about the titling. :)
Zone 8B: Doesn't seem to like the heat and humidity much....Sparce 2" flowers with mild fragrance, moderate BS resistance, 4'T x 2, moderate vigor. 9/27/11 Lots of BS. I note that photos are from colder zones. I won't be keeping this one...I'm no spray.
