The cultivar found to be most closely related to 'Hermosa' was 'Burbank' ('Hermosa' x 'Bon Silene')...The 'Burbank' incommerce is considered by many to likely be the China rose 'Santa Rosa' ...

p. 20: The six plants in the Sacramento Historic Rose Garden identified as 'Hermosa', Hermosa plants obtained from two different commercial sources (Vintage Gardens, Sebastopol, California, and Chamblee Roses, Tyler, Texas), as well as "Manchester Cemetery Bourbon" and "David Wilson", study names for two plants in the Sacramento Historic Rose Garden believed to be 'Hermosa', were analyzed. Despite some differences in morphology, all of these plants showed little or no measurable differences, indicating that despite slight differences in growth habit, they are all the same cultivar.

p. 21: The suggested parents of 'Hermosa', ...'Old Blush' and 'Mme. Desprez', were included in the study. ...Although 'Old Blush' ...appears to be related to 'Hermosa', it does not appear to be a closely related to 'Hermosa' as 'Burbank', which has 'Hermosa' as one of its parents. ....Although 'Old Blush' may likely be in 'Hermosa's' ancestry, it is not a parent of 'Hermosa'.....'Mme. Desprez' is not commercially available, but a sample from Roseraie du Val-de-Marne à L'Haÿ-les-Roses of a rose grown by that name was analyzed. We later learned the identity of this rose was questioned....Microsatellite analysis ...showed that this cultivar was unrelated to 'Hermosa'.

A found China rose previously listed as a 'found China rose' was reintroduced into commerce by the Antique Rose Emporium as 'Hulito' (not listed in Modern Roses 12). Fred Boutin, as well as other rose historians, believe 'Hulito' is actually the Hybrid China rose 'Janice Meredith' ('Hermosa' x 'LaFrance'). No firm conclusion about the identity of 'Hulito' can be drawn from the data...

"San Juan Settler" is not 'Rose Edouard', but is most likely 'La Reine'

No measurable difference was observed between 'Hermosa' and 'Setina', 'Hermosa's' climbing sport. This was not surprising. Microsatellite analysis measures differences in microsatellites, which are found primarily in the non-coding sections of the DNa. Sports and slight changes in growth habit are produced by slight changes in the coding sections that are not analyzed by microsatellite analysis.
