That's too bad because it's been used a lot by breeders.

Including you, I see, Robert. Did you use it enough to develop a breeder’s impression?

I used it a couple of seasons , then let it go, but I still have lots of descendants.
It can produce fragrance in offspring. It's fertile both ways but a little easier for pollen.
Knowing what I know now, and having better options, I would have skipped it entirely.

Unbelievable , I received mid-June as a gift , a new Julia Child ! I wanted to cry , I put her in a very shady area since all my locations in sun were busy by other roses . Imagine ! She never stop to bloom and not even one leave with black spot since then..! I kept her soil always WET since she were always in bloom . So julia prefer shady area and wet soil to don't have black spot ? or again between species there is some specimen more resistant to black spot ?

Julia may not be susceptible to whichever strain of Blackspot is endemic to your area.
If she is healthy for you, that's great.
She's apparently excellent in most of Southern CA.

Yes this new specimen seems to resist to black spot very well . The one I had before her was always having black spot . The only difference is that I put the new one in a very shady area and I keep the soil very wet all the time ... The one I had before with always black spot was in a very sonny hot spot ... She was such a black spot magnet that I got rid of her ...

When I click on Patent information I get this error.

This happens when internet bots scan HelpMeFind and overwhelm it. It usually only lasts a few minutes.
This is a tough one to solve as many bots do not respect standard website indexing/scanning rules and follow EVERY link on HMF. We continue to work on a solution.

It is also the USPTO that has created hurdles.
Go directly on your browser to "Patent Public Search". Click "Basic Search". Type the number as PP18473.
If you get a message like try later, just open simultaneously a second browser window with Patent Public Search. That usually works.

Thank You!. I have for several years tried to figure out how to do a patent search on that site.

I bought this rose as it was suggested to be very disease resistant, but that was not the case in my no-spray garden in zone 7b, NJ USA. It has terrible blackspot resistance in my yard, and I just dug it up. It was very vigorous, bloomed frequently, had no trouble in the prolonged heat wave we had this summer. The blooms also smelled nice, and there was a good number of them at a time, but they faded and shattered within 1-2 days.

This rose had very poor black spot resistance without spray in my garden near Washington, DC. To its credit, it seemed content to photosynthesize with green stems alone, and persisted for several years that way until I couldn't stand to look at it anymore.

Same experience in Atlanta. It will be shovel pruned soon. Why the fuss over it, I have no idea.
