Bred by André Carl (United States, 2013).

Hybrid Rugosa, Shrub.  

Blush pink-white with cream center ages to pure white.  Moderate, face powder, lily of the valley fragrance.  17 to 30 petals.  Average diameter 4".  Medium, double (17-25 petals), cluster-flowered, formal, high-centered bloom form.  Moderate, continuous (perpetual) bloom throughout the season.  Leafy sepals, pointed buds.  

Bushy, upright, well-branched.  Medium, semi-glossy, dark green, dense, holly-like, leathery foliage.  5 leaflets.  

Vigorous.  Disease susceptibility: disease resistant, blackspot resistant.  

Both seedlings from this cross started slow. Now in their second year they have both shown a lot of vigor. This one in particular has done very well as it was moved into a larger pot with improved soil. The form and color of the blooms have improved as well - the first year they were single to semi double and a dull cream, now they are double and white with flesh to blush shadings. Beautiful dark green foliage and very good disease resistance makes the seedling a keeper.

The decision to list the seedling on hmf was made primarily to show a unique cross. It is one that has been selected to grow on for another because it has proved to possess many positive characteristics. I am still confused by the color of this and its sister seedling. I never would have thought that a white bloom would be had - I tend to always expect pink when their is a pink parent involved.
