Thanks to exchanges with several foreign botanical gardens, I was able to acquire seeds [of Rosa filipes] from the Beijing Botanical garden. In the spring of 1982, the seeds were sown. From among those that germinated, I selected four....One developed imposing branches, and as early as 1986 bloomed. ...the original seeds were not those of the true species but the result of an uncontrolled natural hybridization....By 1987, I gave up using the latter two but continued with the first one that had bloomed. It became the male parent in several crosses I performed, using the following roses as the female: ...Topaze... The ...crosses succeeded and were given the name...TOPFIL...
The TOPFILs gave riose to two types of roses, those resembling Rosa filipes, and the others 'Topaze'. In this first group and spared from being culled was a specimen with very shiny leaves that bloomed in 1991. Resembling 'Topaze', the blooms are salmon-pink, the canes are rather rigid, and while not being a recurrent bloomer it is perfumed. It has been given the study name "Acturus"... and has not yet been put on the market.

Valdemar Petersen in 1966 introduced the spinosissima hybrid ʻAïcha’ (Souvenir de Jacques Verschuren × Guldtop). This bush rose is in many ways similar and equal to the Kordes’ Frühling-roses. An early bloomer its yellow flowers almost covering the bush is a potent announcer of summer. ʻAïcha’ is named after the maybe most beloved of Muhammed’s wives

The CHIFILS in their initial crosses gave rise to six new plants that did not bloom the first year, but each possesed the traits of Rosa filipes. .CHIFIL 4 is similar to "Céphée" but flowers later in the season and the corymbs have fewer blooms. It has been named "Almédia".

The other interesting rose at Almerta is known as “Almerta Orchard Pink’”. This rose on first sight appeared to be an old Hybrid Tea but, after revisiting it at different times of the year and also growing a young plant at the Repository, we realised that it was a Tea rose. We have still not been able to identify it, though it is exactly the same as the found rose known as “McClinton Tea” in California. We hope that further research here or by our friends in the United States will eventually lead to a possible identification.
