Breeder's notes:
'Loan Hulse' was the second of the seedlings from this cross to be named. (It is named for Mrs. Mel Hulse) While I have found it to be less than ghenerous with its blooms, I am told it fares much better in SoCal. When it is in flower, the 3" deep red blooms are a sight to behold, with a rich, velvety sheen. The mossing on the buds is also superb. I may incorporate this rose into my breeding work to improve on its floriferousnes.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
'Loan Hulse' is not officially available in commerce. However, it is possible that it could be custom Propagated through The Uncommon Rose if you request it.
