Are there several copies of this rose? Who has it? Is it still alive?

It is still alive and in a few private collections. Possibly in 2025, Burlington Roses will have plants to offer.

Agree with what you wrote: Often a seedling performs better once it has been propagated, exceeding the original seedling's vigor.
I got Yves seedling 'YVPXCHSL1' (bred by Robert Neil Rippetoe by his crossing Yves Piaget with his thornless Bohemian Rhapsody). Back in 2013, the mother bush produced both light pink and red blooms on the same bush. I was able to grow it from a cutting, and this cutting produces STABLE red blooms, a big improvement over the unstable color of the mother-bush. The mother bush also improved from producing both pink and red blooms in its first 2 years, to ONLY red blooms for the next decade.

Straw, please choose a name for this rose and I shall post it accordingly.
Thank you, Robert

It would be Sandyhook rose since I got the rosehips from you in 2012, that's when my ex-neighbor moved to Sandy Hook, CT. Her 5-year old daughter got shot along with many kindergarteners. I grieve for that little girl. The girl's older brother was my daughter's playmate. Your Yves seedling or Sandyhook has a baby-powder sweet scent plus a touch of grape juice, like a toddler's sweet scent.

There seems to be differences in the label for True Compassion, and the Plant Patent for ALTland.
Petal count - 35 petals True Compassion. 70-80 ALTland
Bloom size - 3.5” to 4” True Compassion. 2” ALTland
Height 2’ True Compassion. 1’ ALTland
Width 3’ True Compassion. 22” ALTland

I checked the rose I purchased as True Compassion. It is about 2.25 feet tall and quite narrow. It is currently in a pot, so I expect it to get bigger once in the ground. The rose also appears more upright in growth than advertised.

"Disting" ?
Really?
That's a new one on me.

Disting has been busted for years. Even when I repair disting, it doesn't work! Why does disting keep failing me?

I wonder why the clearly related 'Golden Opportunity' was the one they picked to stay and not this one.
