Breeder's notes:
Commercial availability anticipated pending registration, perhaps limited release in 2013 by Rogue Valley Roses. Ploidy is listed as diploid, but this is based solely on the ploidy of both parents and without actually counting, this is merely speculative.
Does not form hips. I don't know if it makes fertile pollen or not. (Never looked!)

The seed parent, 0-47-19 = Rosa wichurana Crépin × Floradora
