I remember reading somewhere that "Dortmund" self-seeds very easily, but that most of the seedlings resemble the mother plant. This certainly was the case for me - The "Dortmund" I grew long ago has died, but I found a seedling next to it, which I gave to a friend. (NO, it was NOT a sucker.)
At least a decade later, that seedling is growing over her rose arbor and is HUGE. I don't see any difference between what I call "Dortmund's Daughter" and her mom. I'lll have to check it more closely!

Was Ralph Moore's 'Shadow Dancer' a planned cross or might it have been a chance seedling?

Good question!
HMF does list a number of roses that Mr. Moore "discovered" - perhaps some were seedlings.
During his long life, in addition to all his lovely minuature roses, Mr. Moore always seemed to be interested in crossing unusual varieties with each other.

Now I need to get "Shadow Dancer!" It's fragrant - and neither Dortmund nor my seedling are.

The rose we've been given of 'Shadow Dancer' also has large round orange hips, which I don't see mentioned anywhere.

This would make sense to me, as its parents are "Dortmund" and a seedling of "Dortmund."

Ahh, memories ... this is one of the first roses I "rustled" in the area around Frederick, Maryland with my friend and former Sister-in-law Suzy. The others were Banshee and Dr. Van Fleet. I think I gave SP away because it suckered so much. Now I wish I still had a single little sucker. Don't let the fact that it's a once-bloomer fool you. It bloomed for a month or more for me. Wonderful Damask fragrance, if I remember correctly. If I can ever find it again, I'll try growing it in a large pot.
