EXCELLENT photos of persica! I don't know where you got the seed but as I'm sure you know it is very rare. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comment, the seeds are from a friend of mine, who had been my fellow student in biology for years.
He comes from an area not too far away from Taschkent and after we talked about that specimen, he said he would bring me some seeds to germany, if he visits his family - and if he finds a plant.
He did! - And not only for one season, for several, so I could grow them up by trying & reading lots of infos, the two articles from Jack Harkness included.
Thats - in short - the story.
I will bring further fotos if possible.

Wonderful!
I look forward to learning more about this one. I am working with a repeat blooming descendant now. There are relatively few roses adapted to desert climates. It seems this one holds potential for drought tolerance.
Thank you

Dit ist ja herrlich!
Do you know if any of the recent hybrids bloom for more than a day?

Hi Paul! :-)
Yes some Hybrids of Warner (going to be released) Moore (Seqouoia Nursery in California, but they CLOSE end of April 2008, you have to hurry!) are twice blooming or even recurrent blooming. Jim Sproul is also breeding recurrent flowering hulthemia roses and writes about his crossings in the Rose Hybridizers Association Forum.
For example here (where I also write sometimes).
http://www.rosehybridizers.org/forum/message.php?topid=9419&rc=143&ui=1808397568
And perhaps in a few years my own hybrids will be recurrent blooming.
But my main way is to cross seasonal flowering roses into original hulthemia material to get healthy plants from the beginnig.
OK, - of course I also will try some little crosses with F2 to F4 or F5 Hulthemia / Rosa Persica Hybrids, this year.
But - as I look for real challenge - not too much. :-)
I think you should call Moore's Sequoia Nursery, if you live in the states. And ask Jim Sproul, perhaps he can give you material too.
Here is a copy pasting of all helpmefind listings of hulthemia hybrids:
F1
Berberifolia hardii
Euphrates
Hardii
Hulthemia hardii
Hulthemosa hardii
Nigel Hawthorne
Rosa hardii
Rosa x H. hardii Rowley
Rosa x hardii
The Hardy Rose
Tigris
Xerxes
F2
Persian Autumn
Persian Flame
Persian Light ™
Persian Sunset ™
Roses are Red

"Assiniboine - hybrid arkansana
Grows 3-4 feet tall. Showy, semi-double bright red roses produced in mid-season. A mass of color. Reasonably hardy [zone 3] sets seed. Makes suckers, and is subject to rust, but anyone with space available should grow it."
Walter Schowalter notes - 1985

We need a repeat blooming hybrid of this rose. Is anyone working with it?
