'Basye's Amphidiploid Seedling 86-3' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

This information from a HMF user:
"This rose is one of the amphidiploids produced by Dr. Robert Basye. An amphidiploid is the result of a cross between two different diploid roses, followed by doubling the chromosomes of the seedlings. This results in roses with 28 chromosomes, the same number as in most modern hybrid roses. Dr. Basye used colchicine to double the chromosomes. He did this as part of his program to breed blackspot resistant roses. By crossing diploid blackspot-resistant species, and doubling the resulting seedlings' chromosomes, he produced roses that could be crossed with modern hybrids to increase their blackspot resistance.

This rose is being used in the breeding program at Texas A&M University."
