I am raising an Ann Endt x Ann Endt seedling. It germinated last autumn, so it is 1 years old now. It should begin repeating by year 3, which is what hybrid rugosas seem to do. However, it has zero mildew and rust, which is excellllllllenntttt for a 1rst year rugosa seedling. I selfed it with the intent of crossing it to a true red synstylae type, like Art Deco, with the intent of making a diploid edible hip type project, since anthocyanin and peonin presence tends to produce sweeter hips. However, I could see how this same hybrid could create a xeriscape hybrid out of the ancient southwest roses.
