Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Parentage:
If you know the parentage of this rose, or other details, please contact us.
Notes:
This rose was called SU #12 because it was among a number of roses imported from Sweden ?. The tags of these roses got all mixed up during shipping, so they are all called Swedish Unknown # something. Gregg Lowery apparently thought it looked like Mrs. E.G. Hill, so that is what it was tentatively called in their catalog. I later bought this plant from Vintage. My rose has always been semi-double, as described in the catalog, while the Heritage rose seems more fully double (perhaps because it is grafted, I don't know). My plant sometimes blooms in small clusters. Mashamcl
