Apparently a spinossima hybrid according to Michael Marriott

That’s interesting to know. Do you have the source?

I would be surprised... I see nothing 'spin..' about 'Silas Marner' and wonder if there's some mistake and the reference should be about 'Sir Walter Scott' rose.

He stated as such in his recent book, though I can't remember exactly what page it was on :(

Oh ok .. I don't have that book but I'm now wondering if he has got it muddled up with 'The Country Parson' which is very much a spin hybrid as they have always stated, and was released at the same time as Silas Marner.

I guess this is the most likely scenario. As you said, Silas doesn't look like a spinosissima hybrid at all, so probably even if there is actually some spino "blood" in it, it is so washed out not to have any influence from a horticultural point of view
