Hi Chris, do you know if this rose still grows at the Columbus Park of Roses, please? If it does, would it please be possible for you to photograph it and post the photos here?

I would also be interested in seeing photos, if that's convenient. This rose has an intriguing ancestry.

Thanks,
Virginia

The bed is alive and well at Park of Roses. When I was there a few weeks ago it had just been cut back from a bloom so I will visit in a week or so and get pics if I can.

That would be great if you can swing it. It's good to know it's still alive and blooming.

Thanks,
Virginia

Pics loaded! The whole park is in bad shape after 2 hideous winters. Conrad Hilton, however, looks pretty good!

Thanks for the photos! Gotta love a rose that just keeps on blooming, year after year.

I am hoping for a milder winter, though, if only for the other roses and the people- 'Conrad Hilton' doesn't seem to care...

Thanks again,
Virginia

Chris, thank you! It looks quite interesting! I wonder if it never made the rounds simply due to lack of a distribution network? It seems like something worth playing with.
