Wow, Kim! What amazing hips and sepals! This pic alone was enough to get me onto a waiting list to buy some. Hopefully it's not all RMVed like that specimen.

Me too! I would love to put some crested jewel or such on it. Appears hip fertile, too...

I've not used it for anything due to the size the plant demands to be in this climate and it being once-flowering. I do find it surprising and disappointing that the RMV came in a plant FROM the Austin Nursery in Texas. But, it should be expected. From their statements reported on Garden Web, they don't believe indexing programs are effective nor do they attempt to do anything about RMV other than to reportedly throw symptomatic plants away. For the price of their products, I would hope for and expect better.

Well, roses tend to stay smaller here, and it might repeat in the cool, too. I have to try, though.
I wonder what the over parent was to display such amazing sepals. Possibly it shares blood with Knock Out, the flowers are a little similar, and the sepals and large numbers of hips fit, too. This is where propietary lineage hops the border form paranoid to frustratingly childish and obstructive...
Anyway, if it does not repeat, maybe a self seedling will, while being virus clean and mantain the sepals... If anyone could send hips ;)

I don't grow it. The plant I photographed grows over an hour from me. It doesn't appear there will be an opportunity to collect any (presuming they haven't already been dead headed) before moving. Three more weeks!

Until next year- I could ask Sharon, but you'll have to remind her not to deadhead...
