Breeder's notes:
Sport of miniature rose Aristocrat. Found in 2004 by Joseph Smith and Brenda Pollock-Smith. This sweet beauty was named after their daughter, Chelsea Brittlyn Landers for her 16th birthday.
The name 'Peppermint Patty' was the commercial name used when the rose was distributed by Greenheart Farms for a short period of time. Greenheart Farms no longer distributes 'Peppermint Patty' , therefore the name is void and the rose is exclusively named 'Chelsea Brittlyn', available directly from Joe and Brenda Smith. Contact them through the California Coastal Rose Society for purchase inquiries.
