'Bewitched' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of garden rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between an unnamed seedling and an unnamed seedling. The two parents were crossed in the summer of 1989.....The unnamed seedling is a tall growing floribunda with bright pink, semi-double flowers. The unnamed seedling is an offspring of EGESKOV, a light pink floribunda and Dolly, a dark pink floribunda. The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, an unnamed seedling created by the same inventors, by the following combination of characteristics: The pollen parent is a pink floribunda with double flowers and a low and compact habit. One of the parents of the seedling is Bella Rosa, a medium pink floribunda.

Parentage:

seed:	Egeskov ® × Dolly ® (floribunda, Poulsen, 1973)
pollen:	Bella Rosa ® (floribunda, Kordes 1981) × Unknown

Notes:

Pollen parent could also be Unknown X 'Bella Rosa' (see Members' comments).
