'Seedling No 11/2010' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Breeder's notes:

Viru had wanted to release this brightly coloured rose, and then he thought he would use it some more in his breeding line, so he postponed naming and releasing it. Its flowers are so cheerful and bright , and beckon you on a morning when the rest of the garden is asleep and just a sea of green. I have always been fond of this seedling , bred in 2010, and would urge Viru to release it, but he wanted to use it further in his breeding programme. ‘Winter Sunset’ has been a favourite seed parent for Viru and he had many seedlings from it, some which have been released like ‘Remembering Nico’, ‘Sakura Sunset’, ‘Maria Cecilia Freeman’ and ‘Jay Hiers’. Viru would always say’ the rose will find its way’ – ‘Winter Sunset’ was bred by Griffith Buck of the USA, as was ‘Carefree Beauty’ and they were meant to be for cold zones of the world, whereas Viru was breeding for warm climates, and yet he found these Buck roses were good for his hybridizing programme.
