What are the differences between Seagull and Mermaid? Chamblee has a rose selling as mermaid which looks more like seagull, according to pictures here.

Stefand, I tried to look up your two roses, I don't see where you are from, if you live in a warm climate with lots of sunlight, then roses fade very quickly. I looks like Seagull is a white single rose, and Mermaid has a larger pale yellow bloom with floppy petals. Put in a search for Mermaid, and look at Baby Mermaid (also known as Happenstance), there are a few others, most look like they are white. It's harder to tell between those other Mermaid roses, lots of people grow the Mermaid roses, look under the tab "Garden" at the top of each rose entry and use the pulldown menus to find people who have listed that rose. Some people with be happy to take your questions. Also look at other rose databases, Rogers Roses, Just Our Roses (might be Australian based ?).

The bloom size tells you instantly. 'Seagull's' bloom is one, to one and a half inches wide; and 'Mermaid' is four to five inches wide.

I would like to know how they got this rated as a pentaploid? The seed parent is a mutliflora which is a diploid ( 1 set of chromosomes in the female gamete) and the pollinator is a tetraploid ( 2 sets of chromosomes in the male gamete). This should be a triploid rose, where they got the other two chromosomes has got me ??.

Hi Warren.......

The information came from an article written by Leen Leus. You can find the information under the REFERENCES tab on the rose page.

Hello, HMFers,

the 'Seagull' of commerce in Europe does not bloom with single flowers, they all have at lwast two complete rows of petals, i.e. 10+.

Thus, the question arises, whether we have a misnomer here, and if so which rose our "Seagull" actually is? The fotos I posted are from two different places. One of tehm is the Landhaus Ettenbühl, where John Scarman, who allegedly has detected the true 'Rambling Rector', is living at the moment. So, please do not tell me that we have 'Rambling Rector'. Our 'Rambling Rector' looks very similar to our 'Seagull', but both differ in some characters (I have not seen John Scarman's RR so far).

Rosy Greetings

Josef

See my comparative photos of 'Seagull' and 'Rambling Rector' from the Rosen Huber garden. RR blooms are smaller, but have slightly more petals. They are both semi-double in Switzerland.

Hardy in USDA Zone 5. A once-bloomer that puts on a stunning show. Good fragrance. Watch those thorns! -- they're vicious and can do some serious damage to skin. Rosa Carnivorous. Still, it is healthy, hardy, and even when not in bloom the plant has a nice form.
