Notes:
Lloyd Brace of The Roseraie at Bayfields says that although one parent is a miniature, this rose is a big, wide, vigorous shrub. It has clusters of double 2.5" blooms that are scarlet red and come in repeated flushes throughout the summer... The lady for whom this rose is named came from Denver, Colorado.
Sam Kedem says this rose has few thorns. This rose does have far fewer prickles than would be expected from a Hybrid Rugosa, but what it does have are large, sharp and hooked. They are scattered along the fuzzy canes, so it is more lightly prickled than you would expect, but not "thornless".
