Breeder's notes:
[from 1927 Amerian Rose Annual, quoting Prof. N.E. Hansen in the January news letter of the South Dakota State Horticultural Society]
Introduced spring 1912. Seed parent, wild prairie rose from Lake Tetonkaha, about 18 miles northwest of Brookings, S. Dak.; pollen parent, a hybrid Rosa rugosa, so it is a combination of at least three species. Flowers, fully 3 inches across, 18 to 25 petals, deep rich pink, very fragrant. The bush is perfectly hardy far north into Manitoba and is a very free bloomer. This is now becoming widely popular. The bush is of vigorous growth, attaining a height of fully 6 feet and 6 feet across, with hundred of flowers. A pleasing sight in bloom. The glossy Rugosa (wrinkled) foliage is attractive also. We have no small plants to offer for spring, but Tetonkaha is mentioned as the first successful result of the rose-breeding experiments at this Station.
