Cl. Royal America has now bloomed in my yard from a body bag bought at one of the big boxes, might have been Walmart.
The flower looks exactly as I remember it and as it looks in the HMF photos. Pretty yellowish cream color, cupped shape, NOT the HT shape of Cl. America. I am rather skeptical about claims that it is a sport of Cl. America, although it could be a seedling of that rose.
If it is a sport of Cl. America, then BOTH the color and shape of the flower were altered by the mutation, which would involve simultaneous mutation of several genes, as I understand the process.

I can guarantee it's a sport since part of one of my blooms reverted back to an orange reddish color with a slight bent similar to that of a hybrid T. Also a gene can control more than one trait it's called pleiotropy. I hope that helps

Thank you. That does help. Alas, my Cl. RA did not survive the winter.
