"Grandmother's Hat" is NOT the same as 'Molly Sharman-Crawford'.

That was one of the several potential identifications proposed by Bob Edberg based upon illustrations in old rose publications. Unfortunately, we'll never know just who it is. I sent bud wood of it to The Netherlands years ago in hopes someone there would be able to compare it to similar roses there. It hasn't ever happened.

Kim,
Maybe I might shine some light on that in a personal message.
Once I got delivered 3 the same unknown roses instead of Gruss an Aachen.
I wasn't familiar with Grandmother's Hat... and today I looked at some photo's on HMF of it and for me the "false delivered Gruss an Aachen" and G.H. were similar. I gave those plants away.
Best Regards, Jay-Jay.

The rose exhibitor community has been showing Grandmothers Hat under the name “Cornet” for decades. “Found” roses are not allowed at most shows, and apparently someone did a comparison in the literature, and that was the best approximation to the found rose that is everywhere in California.

Another Bob Edberg effort. Bob's major effort was Limberlost Books. He found old colored plates he felt were sufficient matches for both of those identifications. And, it was based upon those plates he made them.

We shall try to clarify the origins of this rose. 'C'est la vie' was actually a shrub rose bred by Polish breeder Rojewski. However, the rose of your post is quite different.

Is the red with purple shading color description correct for this entry? All the photos for this rose show a coral-pink florist rose. Online vendors also show and describe this variety more of a coral-pink. Is this even the same rose?
