'Linville' rose Reviews & Comments

From the patent:
"2. Plants Related to the Invention
The plant of this invention was originated as a result of a planned breeding program which had as a seed parent an unnamed seedling which is unpatented and proprietary and which had, itself, resulted from the cross of my unnamed proprietary seedling with the commercial variety "Rise'N Shine", as pollen parent. Flowers of the seed parent of the plant of this application were variously pollinated with pollen from a number of sources. Seeds resulting from such crosses were massed, and caused to germinate. Plants resulting were allowed to develop and the progeny were observed in hope of attaining at least one valuable addition to roses of this market class by expressing desired traits which had not been previously seen. The plant of this application was one of the progeny of such efforts."

I've grown Linville for 3 years, now. A very vigorous, bushy plant of about 3 ft tall, it blooms its head off in fairly quick cycles. I live on the Gulf Coast, and in our very hot, humid climate, Linville acts like 2 different knds of rose, depending on the season. In the hot months, blooms are maybe 1 1/2 in, white with just a hint of pink on the edges of the center petals. In November and December, the blooms are larger to 2 in, and a pale blush pink. Very pretty.
