This is a beautiful big blowsy Hybrid Tea. It deserves to be better known.

It will be. Cuttings will be distributed to Vintage Gardens and possibly Roses Unlimited this Spring.
Propagation material also supplied to Cool Rose at the request of Gene Waering.

Is President Macia thornless? I have typed the rose up but can find no reference to thorns.

Hi Patricia. Prickles are typical for a Hybrid Tea. Thanks, Robert

Thank you Robert. I have a red-wooded foundling which sounds so close to 'President Macia', but has thorns on the older wood to one metre, and absolutely none at all above this height. I will have to redirect my search to 'Elli Knab' and 'Jonkheer J. L. Mock'.

Information as provided by Gene Waering 4-23-07
"Description from the Hennessey 1949-50 catalogue.
PRESIDENT MACIA -- A very different rose, of delicate shell pink with a deeper reverse to the petals. The graceful big bud opens in an unusually large bloom with airily waved petals, like a super-waterlily. This is a rose for warm to hot climates, and the bloom can stand unlimited sun. The bush is strong and vital, of splendid shape and clothed with firm foliage. The blossom also are notable for the splendid thick smooth substance of the petals. Delicately fragrant a fine rose becoming known and much admired. When it gets hot it develops copper and gold tints that make the big bud breath-taking. . . . .. .$1.50"
