There is an article by Lukasz Rojewski, "White Roses in the Breeding Process", in the American Rose, March/April 2024 p. 26-31, in which he discusses some of his recent introductions. The description of 'Reykjavik' includes the following:
Reykjavik (alba hybrid, 2015 ('Penny Lane', 'Polonica')... I think that might be a misprint, a comma accidentally substituted for x, which would make those two roses the parent of Reykjavik.

The same article lists and describes a number of new introductions of both alba and Kordesii hybrids which are not entered at helpmefind. Would the breeder want to list those himself? The article has names, registration codes, parentage and descriptions for each new cultivar. 'Winterfell' looks particularly interesting to me. It just might prove to be the beautiful and fragrant large flowered climber for cold zones many of us have hoped to find.

The Breeder adds his roses mostly himself. Probably he is busy now with all the international trials.The reference to the American Rose article would be good, but this is not publicly available, I believe.
