OP seeds sown this season that have come up easily. Used as a pollen parent without much luck. Will be used as a seed parent this season. One of my favourite rugosa roses.

Any reason why the parentage is listed as 'seedling' when the references say a "... seedling found in Merryle and David Johnsons’ Garden..."? Doesn't this imply its seed parent was a seedling? I'd imagine it should be unknown.
