'Budapest' rose Reviews & Comments

|
We have the original catalogues from Jenő Halász, who was selling 'Budapest' in the late 1960es and early 1970es in Hungary. According to the description in these catalogues, 'Budapest' was bred by:
Oláh (1966).
The catalogue describes the bloom as "amber yellow, with pink petal edges, with long stems. The bloom is long lasting, large, healthy, excellent for cutting."
We add to this that 'Budapest' has dark green, glossy, leathery foliage, almost no thorns. The bush is about 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide.

Thank you for this clarifying information. Of course, 'Peace' might be in the parentage of 'Budapest'.

Hi Jedmar, I had the exact same feeling about the possible parentage once I realized it was surely not a Peace. In the 50-60-70 era, so many roses were bred from Peace, not to mention the sports of Peace, it is very likely that they are related as this appeared in that time frame.
How sad that the people involved are gone and cannot answer the many questions we have eh.
Thanks for updating the rose info!
Celeste and Péter

It has Peace's dominant trait foliage, so it could potentially be either a direct hybrid or grandkid of Peace.
