'Editor Stewart' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

The description page says this is "a Hybrid Gigantea" but I can't see anything in the references here to support that. Is there some other reference to Gigantea blood not included? I can see similarities with 'Hadley' and 'Princeps' in 'Editor Stewart', so I'm wondering is it's one of Clark's favoured seed parents pollinated with 'Princeps'.
The fact that it was recommended as a hedge suggests it must have had a degree of retention of its foliage in winter. So perhaps there is Gigantea in it after all.
Also, to anyone who has experience of 'Editor Stewart', does it produce hips?

HubertG, originally from Modern Roses 12 in 2007. But I do agree, Editor Stewart doesn’t look like a hybrid gigantea to me (but they don’t grow well down here).
I’ve checked my photos and have no hip photos, sorry. I’ve deleted the main page reference to Hybrid Gigantea.

Thanks, Patricia, for that clarification and for looking at your photos for hips. I just scoured all the photos here looking for anything resembling hips, couldn't see any, but in the process noticed no thorns on any of the stems. Now I'm even more intrigued. Is it also relatively thornless? Now I'm wondering if 'Bardou Job' or 'Blackboy' might be in its background. I might have to order this one in this winter.
