'Rosa chinensis minima' rose Reviews & Comments

Earlier this summer I sowed a few open pollenated seeds from Rosa chinensis 'Minima', five germinated and I pricked out the seedlings in a 1.5LT pot. Four are the normal pale pink whilst one is much darker. The mother plant was right next to 'Baby Faurax', I wonder if they might have cross pollenated?

It could just be a random gene combination from being self pollinated. They are cute though.

Thanks HerbertG. The leaves are slightly darker than the others and when I've grown this rose from seed before the seedlings have been fairly consistent, all the same pale pink colour as 'Old Blush' and 'Pompom de Paris, climbing'. I'll give the pale seedlings away and grow the dark one on and see what it grows like.

It certainly could be a Baby Faurax pollination. Anything can happen. I'd grow it on and just observe if there are any other similarities.

Check if there are fringed stipules on the darker one, which would indicate Multiflora ancestry from 'Baby Faurax' pollen.
