    'Silver Star' rose Reviews & Comments
    HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

    Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

    We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

    Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

    We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

    As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

    RoseSilver Star (hybrid wichurana, Undritz, 1918)
    Initial post 29 JAN 10 by Fred Boutin
    MRIV says of Silver Star. Shrub. (Undritz, 1919). Silver Moon X Marie Van Houtte. Semi-dbl, Fragrant, white tinged cream, golden yellow stamens. Vig. (4 ft. high; 4 ft across); recurrent bloom.

    In the 1966 ARA, Silver Star was determined extinct.

    When the ARA "determines extinct", then one can be sure that one of the major nurseries was intending to issue a new rose with the same name. Indeed, in this case it was Kordes in 1966. Many of these "extinct" roses are well and alive in some garden.

    Perhaps David Ruston's collection should be renamed Jurassic Park.

    Margaret, David's 2003 catalogue, p26 lists the Kordes 1966 'Silver Star'.
    He does not list the 1919 climber.

    Pity, it looks like an imaginative crossing (but not a climber, if the 4' is correct).

    An entry in the American Rose Annual, under the heading New Roses Registered in 1919, has " It is bushy in habit with a climbing tendency". I wonder if anyone ever thought to use it for breeding repeat blooming ramblers?
