Hello, when I clicked on the link for Radler's 'Enchanted Meadow', I was surprised to see it was only 1.25" (up to 3cm) tall. Now THAT'S a wee rose! John Pavlich

I was wondering if the quoted passages from Stephen Scanniello at the bottom of the description tab were mistakenly placed there. I don’t know if ‘Chris Evert’ has a specific link with the standard form, but it seems like a non sequitur to me.

Also seems like a rose I wouldn't want on a standard. Actually kinda surprised landscape nurseries don't have the Oso Easy roses on standards, or even the Pretty Polly types.

The habit data is from the patent

At what point did the Koster line develop ball-shaped blooms? There are no photos of some between D. Koster and the original rose of this lineage. The ball-shape is definitely unique.

I have also seen a similar change in an (alleged) sport. Some years ago, I bought a body bag of 'Royal America', sport of 'America'. I was at the time also growing the sport parent. RA showed growth and habit identical to 'America', but the cream colored flowers opened in a kind of globular, cup shape, not at all like the flatter 'America'.
RA is no longer in commerce, which is a pity, because I found it an excellent pillar type rose. I think the sport may have been found by a wholesale company, which propagated and sold it for as long as the patent lasted.

I grew Margo Koster and Mother's Day when roses were new to me as a teenager. If they didn't powdery mildew so bad, I'd consider one again. They ARE cute, and the little ball blooms are funny to look at in a good way. I think my MK was virused because then no one cared about cleaning up root stock, although maybe virus free are out there now.
I saw a pure gold sport of Chris Evert at Washington Park for years, but could not ask for cuttings as it was still in commerce. Its gone now though :(

As a joke, I once dipped the cut end of a spray of Sneprincesse (the white sport in this line) in blue dye to dye the white blooms light blue and showed it at our County Fair in the “unregistered/unknown” class under the name Blue Balls. The local retail nursery then had a stream of people come in and ask to buy it.
