This rose, and its sister, were originally intended to commemorate a premier Southern California Rose Nursery I ran for a while. The producer who was to introduce it was never able to provide any plants of it, so none were ever sold with the first name. Some years later, a great rose friend accidentally ended up with a plant of this. I didn't know I had it, and when I tried to give him a plant of Annie Laurie McDowell, this is what he received. He liked the rose (as I always have), and asked its name. I suggested he name it, which he did, for his wonderful wife, Jane (Mrs. James Delahanty). Hence, Super Jane honors her and is the proper name for this rose.

This rose can express canes completely without ANY prickles. It can also express canes covered in the dense, small prickles from its mutliflora heritage, and even canes with large, hooked, climbing tool type prickles.
