'90-02-02' rose Description
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.

Breeder's notes:
This has been in my collection since 2003, when this group of seeds was germinated. It does poorly on its own roots and is never very vigorous, nor particularly attractive as a shrub, but the bicolored blooms and thorny mossing on the buds make it a valuable curiosity. I have no intent of releasing this into commerce, as it has far more flaws than merits.
It is presumed to be a Tetraploid, but has not been tested for ploidy.
Note about parentage: The pollen parent is a Ralph Moore rose dating from 1959 (code name 25-59-7) which has come to be known affectionately as "Nutshop", a nickname assigned by Burling Leong, Ralph Moore's greenhouse assistant. "Nutshop" is a sparsely foliated bush to about 8 feet with pink and yellow/white bicolored blooms and dark (almost black) mossing on the buds.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
