'Peggy Ann Landon' rose Reviews & Comments

There is a picture of 'Peggy Ann Landon' in Crockett, James Underwood, Roses, published by Time Life Books in 1971. This book has its' virtues, but photography throughout is quite untrue to color. The photo is a full page plate opposite page 43. The color shown is a kind of strawberry red with either white or pale yellow centers, rather like an improved 'American Pillar'. The bush is shown growing on a white fence and is clearly a vigorous climber; judging by the amount of flowers, I would have supposed it a rambler.

The picture in Crockett's book is clearly not 'Peggy Ann Landon'. Looks like another photo of 'American Pillar'' of which there are several in this volume.

So I cannot find a match for PP 419, but I didn't want to lose my place, so this is as good as any place. It is stated as:
"The genealogy of my new rose is to the best of my knowledge and belief as follows: it is a hybrid descendant, the pollen parent being the same as the pollen parent of the climbing rose commercially known as Golden Glow and the seed parent being the same as the seed parent of the climbing rose commercially known as Apricot Glow (Plant Patent No. 200). "
Which would be (Emily Gray x Dr. W. Van Fleet) x (Mary Wallace x Unknown).
I cant find a Brownell rose to match this. The color is stated as an admixture of rose violet, red, strawberry pink, and salmon orange. Semi-double. Climbing????

Looks like it! Thanks! I went through so many of these to see if any were missing, looking to see if Break o'Day had a patent (didnt find one.. :[ )

A pleasure. There is a list of the patents in the early American Rose Annuals that I can look up if ever you need to find one.

I was searching through the oldest USPTO's inventory listing. It's very cumbersome, and i didn't find a patent for Break O'Day. Don't ask me why I considered it an important mission lol. Well, actually, I recall now.
Glenn Dale is a very important rose in breeding. It is a wichurana that has produced much shorter roses, that carry both wichurana resistances and resistances from Rosa moschata that come through many generations of tea and china types. Further, non-genetic resistance of RRD was trialed for Lafter, which is a very close relation, with the same type of foliage, stems, and prickles. So it would be interesting to see the breeding pathway for Break O'Day to see if the unknown portion aided in the eventual equation that became Lafter, or if it was Glenn Dale doing 100% of the heavy lifting.

This striking, fragrant bi-color climber (medium yellow with orange tints) was named for the wife of Republican U.S. Presidential candidate Alf Landon, who lost the 1936 election to Franklin Roosevelt.
