Per conversations with Mr. Moore, the multibracteata seedling resulted from breeding with an un named seedling related to Floradora he received when he obtained Floradora. I believe it was a sister seedling sent for test along with Floradora but which was never named nor released. Both Floradora and the sister seedling were shared with him by Roy Hennessey.

You could say it's a cousin of 0-49-17 then. I wonder how different Floradora and the unnamed were.

He never said how they differed, simply that they were related seedlings.

Although listed as "very disease resistant" it does Blackspot rather badly, although this does not affect its performance or hamper its vigor in any way. This is one of the most rampant climbers, capable of reaching 20 feet in all directions.
Moore suggests this as a potentially valuable breeder, which it might be with perseverance, although the Blackspot issue often follows its offspring, and it is strongly inclined to breed pale/medium pinks.
Probably a Diploid, although not verified as such.
