Photo taken June 17th showing growth since previous photos. Obviously this is a very vigorous hybrid. I am so excited to be using this cultivar for further hybridizing. I want to use it as a replacement for china roses in places where chinas are used too frequently. For instance, I will make a replica Bourbon rose with Autumn Damask crossed with this to create a cross that skips the blackspot problems but has really strong rebloom and good foliage. Then I would proceed to introduce that line into tetraploid roses. Also, I'd cross this with Felix Leclerc and Kordesii roses.
