'Meisentmil' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Breeder's notes:

Lemon Splash has a great ground cover habit that was created specifically for small gardens and container gardening. It also works well in hanging baskets and in rock gardens. Lemon Splash could easily qualify as miniature. It is Winter hardy and heat tolerant with the toughness and solid performance of its larger cousins, the Meidilands. Lemon Splash will perform well in any given landscape situation especially in the dry climates of the West.

Application No: 12/285,420 on 3 Oct 2008

The new variety of Rosa hybrida Shrub rose plant was created during May 1998 in France by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was the `Meiranovi` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,385). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the product of the cross of the `Korimro` variety (non-patented in the United States) and the `Meibaltaz` variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,449). The `Meiranovi` variety is marketed under the ANTHONY MEILLAND trademark, and the `Korimro` variety is marketed under the IMMENSEE trademark.
