Some All-Canadian Roses
by Fred Blakeney, Victoria, B.C.
Mr. Georges Bugnet of Legal, Alberta, began hybridizing roses over 25 years ago. As a matter of fact, he wrote an article about his work on breeding roses which appeared in the American Rose Society's Annual for 1941. A good deal of his biography is in West of the Fifth, published by the Lac Ste Anne Historical Society. 
His breeding grounds at Rich Valley have been acquired by the Alberta Government, and bear the name of "The Bugnet Plantation Historical Site". He has two registered roses to his credit:
"Lac La Nonne", shrub, introduced in 1950, its parentage being R. rugosa plena x R. acicularis. The bud is pointed and deep red. The flowers are of medium size, 2 to 3 inches, semi-double, very deep pink (almost red) and fragrant. It is a vigorous grower to 7-8 feet, blooms in August, and is hardy.

Lac La Nonne (introduced by Percy H. Wright, 1950). R. rugosa plena x R. acicularis. Bud pointed, deep red; flowers semi-double, very deep pink, almost red. Grows seven to eight feet. Blooms July and part of August. Hardy to -50°.

Personal Correspondence: From Georges Bugnet to Percy Wright - early 1950's, Percy Wright fonds,

"Your Rose booklet is very interesting. - The ancestry of Lac La Nonne is (R. rugosa, var. kamtchatica x wild native rose) x R. rugosa flora plena. Now, I do not believe that Rosa Macounii and R. acicularis are the only two types growing around here, as natives. So, I am not sure of the name of the first pollen parent, which, in fact, I did not notice save to know that it was one of the natives."

"LAC LA NONNE - a hybrid sent to me by Mr. Georges Bugnet of Lac Majeau, Alberta, and presumably Hansa by Acicularis. Rather like Tetonkaha, but flowers a little smaller, plant more erect, and taller, up to eight feet. Could be classified as a pillar rose. Hardy to 60 degrees below zero."

Lac La Nonne: Produced by Geo. Bugnet, Lake Majeau, Alta., and formerly called by him Rugabland No. 1. At Beaverlodge, where it was planted in 1932 it is more vigorous (5-6 feet) than Hansa and the season of bloom is about the same. The flowers are not so double as Hansa, nor so red, but it is a splendid ornamental, apparently as hardy as or hardier than Hansa. Rugosa type of leaf and bush.
