    I believe Rita Sammons should be classified as a polyantha, not a rambler, since it is a sport of Cécile Brunner.

    The original 'Cécile Brunner's is not a rambler, so that would need to be changed to Polyantha. Great catch.
    The climbing version is a sport. Not the original!

    I too am curious of the differences between Rita and Cécile. Is Rita a darker pink on average?

    What differentiates this from the bush form CB? Would anyone know?
