Breeder's notes:
This has been determined to be a seedling that originated from an open pollinated hip off of Brownell's Eternal Flam /Pink Pillar. It was misplaced for several years and it was debated if it was either Lichtkönigin Lucia or Shadow Dancer because of the position it was placed in the garden. Unfortunately, it did not bloom until finally a bloom was observed in 2021 which confirmed that it was neither of those commercially available varieties but my missing seedling from 2012.
