Applejack – One humid, summer morning, Dad was out in the garden. It was perfect weather for the release of foliar fragrance from the sweetbrier roses and he noticed the decidedly apple fragrance of the foliage of one seedling resulting from a cross made using his ‘Josef Rothmund x R. laxa seedling. The plant was also in full bloom literally covered with clove-scented pink blossoms. The combination of the scents was so overwhelming it drove Dad out of the garden. It is very winter hardy – I only have to trim the tips of the canes (stems). Its biggest problem is that it can easily grow to be 7’ x 7’. Won’t bloom in Texas – not cold enough.

Barn Dance In his attempt to breed a red rose, Dad almost discarded a pink seedling of ‘Prairie Princess.’ Luckily he didn’t discard it because this pink seedling almost received the All-America Rose Selection Award. Its only fault was that in some southern areas of the country, it grows overly large and develops floppy blooms. This is ‘Carefree Beauty.’

Another local discovery of this period [1979] was a once bloomer on my great aunt’s house. After much thought, I conclude “Blake” is really Felicite, and the famous “Boat Rose” is the ancestral pink rambler. Month, “Blake” is a woody climber to 20 feet with double pink flowers about the size of a half dollar. Bill Welch grew it over an old well at his farm, while it never achieved the spectacle his front gate did, it was still a fantastic show.
