Breeder's notes:
This plant is from open pollinated hips collected off Basye's Thornless wichurana and sent to me from another grower. The fact that this plant produces double, apricot blooms suggests that this seedling was not the result of self pollination and I believe it to have either China, tea, and remotely, polyantha blood in it.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
Only 1 or two canes have ever produced any thorns while all others remain thornless. There are, however, tiny thorns on the underside of the leaves.
