'Nipsya Rose' References

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.

American Rose Annual

Book (1941) Page(s) 111 - 115.

Exploring another trail some fifteen years ago the pollen of another native rose [R. macounii] was placed on R. rugosa flore plena. Part of the offspring, 5 to 6 feet tall, gave single and part semi-double flowers. These last have 12 to 17 petals, are 2 ½ to 3 ½ inches across, deep vivid pink, fragrant, of course, and with very abundant bloom from the middle of June into August. One has been named Nipsya. Two years ago a friend living in the Peace River country wrote me that Nipsya was the only rose which passed through the winter unscathed, the only one which bloomed the following summer. It is not unlike the Tetonkaha of Sr. Hansen, but apparently is much hardier and does not seem to sucker so badly. On this last point I am in doubt; a different soil might tell the other way.
