    Parentage listing says: "Parentage: Detroiter × Heidelberg (hybrid kordesii, Kordes, 1959) "

    Is this right? I can't see Kordesii anywhere in the pedigree.

    Simon...

    Check the information under the REFERENCES tab on the rose page. Several sources list the parentage we have used on HMF.

    I did... I'm not questioning the parentage. I'm questioning the referece to Kordesii. 'Heidelberg' doesn't go back to Kordesii that I can see... the references don't say it does. I think there has been a typo made and the 'hybrid kordesii" was added by mistake. I'm thinking it should just read (Kordes, 1959).

    You are correct. Modern Roses and some other publications classify 'Heidelberg' as a hybrid kordesii; however, we have a 1983 reference stating that this is an error. We have therefore changed the class designation in the name to "Floribunda clg."
