What a cute name lol.

And a marvelous looking rose! It feels very "Mutabilis-like" doesn't it?

Reply #2 posted 28 MAR 20 by HMF supporting member

They list it as hybrid moschata, and the foliage shape doesn't imply its not. Maybe Mutabilis is in there, too.

Perhaps, and the Velles have worked with Mutabilis, so...

Lens did too. Maybe used one of his crosses.

Hi Kim, we used Kathleen x Warm Welcome. It has the very long flower buds and dark young leaves from Warm Wishes. Best regards, Ann

Hi Ann, thank you! I appreciate your including your information. There is too little breeding information available for many newer roses and yours are some of the more imaginative out there. I hope you, Rudy and your loved ones are safe and healthy! Please remain well! Kim

I guess the answer was multiflora-noisette-tea hybrid x yellow-orange modern gives a salmon Mutabilis effect. Good to know, lol! I used Pleasant Valley for awhile, but everything I made was culled because I couldn't shake the downy mildew out of any seedlings w/ good color. It's a total pain to breed out of many synstylae types.
