"San Juan Settler" is not 'La Reine'. The error was because it was planted next to La Reine in the park in San Juan Bautista. The plants were own-root, and over the years have suckered into each other. They are now 3 plants that each produce two kinds of blooms. Apparently, when Fred collected the cutting he used to produce the plant used in the DNA study, they weren't blooming, so he didn't realize the problem. I noticed the problem in the plants last year, and showed it to Sherri and others. The La Reine isn't labeled, so we didn't realize why there were two types of flowers right away. It was only when I saw that SJS had been reassigned to La Reine that I figured it out. I reread the DNA study, then discussed it with Sherri, who is in agreement with me on how the error occurred. - Jill Perry, July 28, 2016

Found in the plantings at San Juan Bautista State Historical Park. Closely suckering erect growing Hybrid Perpetual-like or damask-like shrub with very straight stems with small light brown nearly perpendicular prickles. Tip-flowers in a closely spaced cluster. Sets numerous hips which are tan brown 1/2 inch in diameter with a tapered base and a prominent ring at the top. Buds on slender pedicels, hypanthium small, oval, topped by a distinct neck before the sepals which are barely longer than the bud. Three of the sepals with pointy narrow foliations. Possibly 'Rose Edouard' or 'Rose Edward' the original Bourbon. - Fred Boutin, December 24, 2009.
