Breeder's notes:
Although this seedling has shown rampant growth I cannot yet comment on its mature size. It will clearly get a lot larger than it is now.
After the 2015 Polar Vortex, I presumed this rose was dead and lost, as were so many roses that winter. However, I recently discovered that it has come back from the roots and is now getting big again. (May 2018)
This variety is both pollen and seed sterile.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
