I have a feeling this rose is Princesse x (Tane x Mary Sumner) instead of Princess x (Tana x Mary Sumner). I wonder if there are any other references for the parentage? Found this while checking around to see if its lineage is elsewhere: http://www.nzroses.org.nz/index.php/2007/03/breeding-chocolate-brown-roses/	REPLY

Spot on Michael. Especially as 'Princess' was a white rose bred in 1993 long after 'Hot Chocolate' came along in 1986. As for 'Tana', other references picked up this misspelling for Nola Simpson's husband's 1979 rose 'Tane'. We've corrected the parentage.	REPLY
