I will try to circulate some plants probably next year to other hybridizers who may want to use it. It's a moss rose, but some hybridizers may want to take advantage of its diverse parentage. I may even try to introduce this rose to the public in general if I can find a nursery that are willing to sell it for me. I don't care about naming it, so I may give someone else that privilege if I see it fit. For now, I will just allow it to grow.

It does look very interesting. Are you living in the USA or in Europe?

I live in San Jose, California. So-- the United States. I wouldn't mind sending this rose to other places, just so long postage and handling is paid. (Or... an exchange for another seedling, or for a rose that I can't get in US nurseries.)

Importing into Europe is easy, but requires a phytosanitary certificate. On the other hand, I understand that the other way round is very difficult due to quarantine requirements.

I see that you are located in Sweden, and it seems you're a director of a rose garden. Does this mean that you are interested in displaying this seedling for public view? Or, are you interested in hybridizing with it? I am not sure how cold your climate gets, so who knows how hardy this seedling will be.

I would love to be able to grow this plant. The colors are gorgeous. I don't hybridize now, but I hope to be able to in the future. I am especially interested in working with the moss roses in general. I definitely think you should try to distribute this pretty rose. How is the disease-resistance?

You can have it for your garden if you list it on helpmefind. Right now it's too hot to ship cuttings, and I never rooted this rose before. Maybe by the fall you can grow it if you got a good spot. This rose, however, gets mildew. But-- so do other moss roses. But the mossing is especially heavy, which tends to trap extra moisture. This rose is so mossy that some of the leaves get mossing, just like both its parents.

I would be more than happy to list your rose in my garden on Help me find if I had the priviledge to grow it. Fortunately, I have never had mildew in my garden here in TN--just lots of blackspot--but you're right, I am used to spraying many of my other plants. I would love to grow it here and give you some feedback as to how it performs. ( the mossier the better!) Just let me know whenever you feel it would be good to send, and I'll get my info to you. If I have a rose that you would like a cutting from, let me know, and I will start one for you. My mosses are small, as they are new this year, but maybe by the fall, certainly by spring they should be ready.

on page 45 of the 1954 American Rose Annual, the parentage is listed as:
(Edith Cavell x Edgar Andreu) x Crimson Glory

Im more inclined to believe that Editch cavell the polyantha and not the HT was one of the parents. That would make it (diploid x diploid) x tetraploid = triploid. However, it is possible that (tetraploid x diploid) x tetraploid = triploid, but it is slightly less likely. Combine that with the fact that the HT is light yellow and it seems more probable that the red polyantha is the actual parent.

Yes, of course - thank you.

Rose Listing Omission
Dorian
Hello, I would like to add a rose to my breeding list. It's a spinosissima, and I breed it around 2007. It has recently flowered, and I want to add photos.

We have added this plant and linked it, along with your other plants, to your HMF registration so you can add details yourself. We would be very pleased to have you add more information about each of your plants. You'll find when you visit one of your plant's main tab you have the ability to make changes and additions.

I purchased the baby love shrub rose whose description said it would reach medium height (3' or so) at the garden center. I just came across a small tag that said baby love "shrublet". I planted these the middle of May (Im in zone 5) and they are blooming profusly but are only about 12 inches high. How can I tell if these are the miniatures (which will ruin my landscape design as I planted 8 of these) or if they will reach a normal rose height as indicated at the garden center?

Baby Love is classified as a miniature and grows to about 14 inches tall. It may in a warm climate go taller but it is still a miniature rose. I doubt it will reach 3 feet if it is the original Baby Love rose.

"Mini" is a term that I don't very much. Mini only refers to the flowers size, and not the plant. Your Baby Love may grow bigger, I've seen them make beautiful round bushes below my knee.

I wouldn't plant a whole lot of Baby Love. All it does for me is make blooms that last a day and then drop off, leaving many seed heads and few blooms. Phooey. If you want a nice yellow rose, try SunSprite.

Could others who grow Baby Love comment on your experience, as to whether or not its blooms "blow" quickly for you? It sounds like a great rose in other respects, but I prefer roses whose blooms last longer than a day.
