This rose (grafted on multiflora) is much taller than advertised in my garden (zone 7b, alkaline clay, NJ). I hack it back hard to 2’ in spring, and cut it back after every flush, and it still springs up to 6-7’ tall in just a few weeks. It’s too big for the spot it’s in, but I don’t really have a better one for it at the moment. It’s exceptionally healthy and the blooms are just gorgeous.

Yep my 2 year old Palatine plant on Multiflora easily tops 8 feet. Tall baby! Big sprays but only on top of hefty tall stiff canes. Would be best planted against a fence(which mine unfortunately is not). Speedy grower, speedy rebloomer.

I ordered from Chamblee's and now they are closed permanently. What a shame! I think Sonnenwelt would have loved my garden...

I am fairly sure the female parent is Caramel Fairy Tale. I am not quite sure of the male parent, but I am guessing something like Charles Austin.

It shows how much the statements of parentage in patent applications are worth: Multitudes of "Unnamed seedling x Unnamed seedling" in the past 30 years at least.

Unfortunately, seedling, un-named seedlings, unknown, etc. is typically bull poopoo.
Enough times it is a known commercial cultivar, even at the time of application. Even then, they KNOW.
At least Weeks likes to play a little naming game with people.
I can understand if a parent is a string of known cultivars, but there is no excuse for most of the actions.
I believe it is mostly because the big European breeders are in such close proximity and dont want to admit "trade secrets" or that they use each others stuff.
Big deal, no one cares. Honestly. Just let the consumer know what's what. Should be customary if its simple enough.

It is stupid, because one could cross the same two roses many times and would get a differing result each time. Why do patent authorities accept such nonsense?

Correct, and even if they made a similar rose, it takes a decade to get to the point of even releasing the parentage. At that point, who cares? You're already ahead of the game by leagues, if the rose turns out important. Which is almost never the case anyway.
