Is the seed parent of 'Bonica' a rose called 'Swany' (see: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.2462&tab=1 ). They have identical parentages.

Simon..........
The seed parent could be 'Swany' or it could be a sister seedling to Swany' with the same cross.

Yes... I guess so :-)

More likely Swany than Alba Meidiland. Meilland seems to use their own named cultivars, listed as seedlings for their records. Alba Meidiland is absent of sexual parts -- at least in this area.

Swany is triploid, and diploid Alba Meidiland has more offspring listed, so it seems more probable to me Alba M. might be the seed parent, assuming disclosed parentages are accurate.

If it is, they had very tiny fingers and a lot of luck. Its possible, but difficult and requires the dang thing to not act sterile.

Sue Z tells me that Evenstar, planted as a small cutting-grown plant at the Petticoat Lane garden just under 4 years ago, has reached 8' x 8 (2.4m x 2.4) - very large, very dense, very healthy and very pretty.
And from my recollection, also very prickly.
Be careful where you plant it.

The original seedling is now even bigger. It has been cut back to 50cm stumps three times since 2010 and each time it comes back stronger. It is currently sitting at about 12' x 8'. Its branches have reached, and gone past, the gutters of the house.

That's quite some bush!
You'll be saddened to hear, as will everyone who met him, that Viru, who sent you the seed, has died. He was a lovely man.

I had heard. I sat under the shade of 'Evenstar' this morning and reflected on what a beautiful soul he was. It is very sad news.

Nahema's bloom lasts longer than Austin roses, with a great floral scent. The leaves are glossy, and my own-root is very low-thorn. It has stiff branches and is a free-standing shrub in my zone 5a with winterkill. This rose is healthy, no balling in my limestone clay. It improved when I gave it sulfur (also has gypsum), to solve chlorosis in my alkaline clay.

It isn't thornless on Dr Huey.

It can't support itself here as a free standing shrub, either.

How many days do the blooms last on the cane in your area? Or perhaps compared to some of your other roses?
