Lovely and apparently quite rare?

It has been sold in a few nurseries locally (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) since being introduced in 2020 but not heavily marketed. Bylands Nursery in Kelowna, British Columbia introduced it in 2020. However, they discontinued their testing and development program the following year.

Sounds familiar.
Some of the best I've bred and many I've seen from others will never be offered.
Then some I don't consider worthy are marketed for one reason or another and get distribution.
Sadly, that's the reality of making new roses.

From the notes of Walter Schowalter, courtesy of Margit Schowalter:
Tetonkaha - Hybrid rugosa - Hansen
There seems to be half a dozen different forms of this rose in circulation. It seems Dr. Hansen was rather careless about keeping his stock unmixed. Mine was a four foot shrub with semi-double deep rose colored blossoms, produced in July. Very hardy.

Are any of the Tetonkaha roses still out there?

Years ago I sent both Joe Bergersen and the N.E. Hansen Memorial Garden located in South Dakota suckers of 'Yatkan' and 'Tetonkaha'. Whether they survived or not, I don't know. I believe both cultivars are still growing at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden, in Alberta, Canada.

Thank you! Returning to add that South Dakota State University still has Tetonkaha rose as well as Hansen, Alika, Mrs. Mina Lindell, Lilian Gibson, Pax Apollo, Emmadora, Yatkan, and Zitkala roses

Wow!
That's a beauty Margit. Congrats!
Is it one of yours?
I was looking at the lineage and would assume it's triploid?
Btw, I love the name for personal reasons.

Thank you Robert. Yes, it is one of mine and it is triploid. It was named for my niece, Morgan. The first time it bloomed was on her graduation day!

Thank you for your reply.
It's really lovely. She's a lucky girl!
Some nice things should come of it.
Best wishes, Robert
