'AC Navy Lady' rose Description
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.

The variety 'Navy Lady' originated from a controlled cross made at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Station in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec in 2003. The female parent was the variety 'Fourth of July' and the male parent was the variety 'Astrid Lindgren'.

The new variety of shrub rose, ‘Navy Lady’ was selected by the Inventor among seedlings derived from a cross made in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada in 2003 between the female parent, ‘Fourth of July’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,518) and the male parent, ‘Astrid Lindgren’ (not patented). ‘Navy Lady’, designated as seedling no. ST03H003-02, was planted in the field in 2004, and selected and advanced to additional trials until 2008, when it was selected by the Inventor as a single unique plant with distinct characteristics.
