Are there several copies of this rose? Who has it? Is it still alive?

It is still alive and in a few private collections. Possibly in 2025, Burlington Roses will have plants to offer.

Agree with what you wrote: Often a seedling performs better once it has been propagated, exceeding the original seedling's vigor. I got Yves seedling 'YVPXCHSL1' (bred by Robert Neil Rippetoe by his crossing Yves Piaget with his thornless Bohemian Rhapsody). Back in 2013, the mother bush produced both light pink and red blooms on the same bush. I was able to grow it from a cutting, and this cutting produces STABLE red blooms, a big improvement over the unstable color of the mother-bush. The mother bush also improved from producing both pink and red blooms in its first 2 years, to ONLY red blooms for the next decade.

It would be "Sandy Hook" since I got the rosehips from you in 2012, that's when my ex-neighbor moved to Sandy Hook, CT. Her 6-year-old daughter got shot along with many 1st-graders. I grieve for that little girl. The girl's older brother was my daughter's playmate. Your Yves seedling or Sandy hook has a baby-powder sweet scent plus a touch of grape juice, like a toddler's sweet scent.

Please see, "Sandy Hook".
Any further comments to be posted there.
I can make any notes there you desire.
I will update scent as described.
Thank you, Robert

Yes, if there is ever a realistic way of getting roses from the US through Oz quarantine, there will be a batch of Barden roses second on my list - after the Teas!
