I have read that this rose is sterile. Is it even sterile as a pollen parent?

Apparently not. Peter Harris used it on 'Golden Showers'. He got a raggedy, pale yellow bloom on a plant with some blackspot.

It's the only rose I've grown that got rust. I wouldn't bother to try breeding from it!

I can't dispute that. I last saw 'Agnes' 40-odd years ago. I don't recall any rust, but that was in Kansas and the clearest memory I have is of the fragrance. Nice color, too. Come to think of it, I don't recall any rust at all in the Reinisch Rose Garden in Topeka.

No rust on Agnes in my cool acid soil either.
