Working with the heritage Geschwind rose, Gruss en Teplitz, which does well in India, brought Vanamali, which grows in the Sakura garden. Many others followed including some in the closely related brownish colors, like Coffee Country.

an unknown pink Tea, crossing them into modern Hybrid Teas....the pink Tea x Samba, produced my first rose, named, rather aptly I feel, First Offering, a bushy plant with lovely red flowers of the Tea rose persuasion, but sadly now lost.

From the other seedling of R. clinophylla with Little Darling has come a range of shrub roses culminating in the varieties Silver Dawn, Ganges Mist and most recently, the very fragrant Pat Henry named for my good friend who encouraged me by releasing these new roses in the USA.

Interestingly, many of the seedlings in this line are very fragrant.

Success with R. clinophylla was difficult indeed, as it is generally very far removed from even the Tea/Noisette roses, not to speak of modern roses. But ultimately two interesting seedlings emerged – a pink repeat-flowering single rose from the pink Tea, Mrs. B. R. Cant, and a larger flowered pale orange and tallow bicolour from the cross of the floribunda, Little Darling into a seedling of mine derived from R. clinophylla pollinated by the closely related R. bracteata. The latter was probably of higher chromosome number unlike the Mrs. B. R. Cant seedling which was probably diploid. These two seedlings are in the background of my new range of Hybrid Clinophyllas.

Picasso crossed into the red and white Inge Horstman produced Priyatama, named for Girija. “Priyatama’ means ‘most beloved’ in Sanskrit.
