Harry H. Hazlewood. Some New Roses for 1955. 
Atombombe  (Kordes, 1953) (Hybrid Polyantha.) Large flery scarlet fully double blooms borne in large clusters on unusually tall stems up to 3 feet long. What type of final growth will develop remains to be seen, but at present it carries all the indications of becoming a quite tall growing shrub rose. The original description states the bush is very free flowering with long-lasting blooms.
