Parentage listing says: "Parentage: Detroiter × Heidelberg (hybrid kordesii, Kordes, 1959) " Is this right? I can't see Kordesii anywhere in the pedigree.	REPLY

Simon... Check the information under the REFERENCES tab on the rose page. Several sources list the parentage we have used on HMF. Smiles, Lyn	REPLY

I did... I'm not questioning the parentage. I'm questioning the referece to Kordesii. 'Heidelberg' doesn't go back to Kordesii that I can see... the references don't say it does. I think there has been a typo made and the 'hybrid kordesii" was added by mistake. I'm thinking it should just read (Kordes, 1959).	REPLY

You are correct. Modern Roses and some other publications classify 'Heidelberg' as a hybrid kordesii; however, we have a 1983 reference stating that this is an error. We have therefore changed the class designation in the name to "Floribunda clg."	REPLY
