Its Party Girl x Touch of Class, also known as 'Orange Class'. I still own it, right from Ray's hands and mouth. The name was a twist on the parentage.

Thanks!

Is 'Orange Classic' also a synonym or is our listing in error.

Synonym. When it was released a 2nd time to Heirlooms, after Ray passed away, it was given a new name. The other reason it was renamed was because, when people tried to exhibit it, it looked like they were wrongly putting the exhibition class in the name spot on the tag. And then it was get DQ'd, lol.


I'll try to post a pic of it when I can remember to take one. It basically is pure coral orange, with typical HT form, and the plant is straight up to 2 feet tall. Kind of like if Orange Kardinal was a mini.

I’m very interested in this rose and see Heirloom might carry it. Do you know what name they put on It? Thanks

Sadly, they quit selling minis.

Thanks. What a pity. John Clemons must be turning over in his grave. Know anyone who is able to root cuttings?
