    I would like to complete for your records the parentage of Milwaukee's Calatrava, a rose introduction of mine.

    'RADell' = [ 'RADfert' ('RADmom' x 'RADdad') x 'Jude the Obscure' ]

    'RADfert' has the same parentage as Knock Out® and Double Knock Out® but is a different sibling.

    Star Roses has this in their 2020 catalog under the name "Pearlescent."

    I like to quote a reference to show where information came from. I can’t find ‘Pearlescent’ - can we have an URL please.

    Codename (RADfragwhite) for Milwaukee's Calatrava matches Pearlescent in Heirloom's directory.

    Star Roses should be paying us for doing their dirty work ;]

    But there are some good’uns. I learnt recently that we have a nursery in Australia who has actually donated to HelpMeFind. And I heard the same nursery was passing a public garden and stopped and offered to take the prunings away. I have to say a public thank you to Wagners Rose Nursery.

    I really loved this rose at Washington Park, but they took it out this winter. It looked like a flawless hedge of white "tea" roses.

    Really! Wonder why they took it out.
    Just out of curiosity, what city and state is Washington Park in?
    Reply #2 posted 15 APR 17 by Michael Garhart
    Portland, Oregon. It's the famous park that looks right into and over Portland. You can see Mount Hood on the other side of the view.

    They may have moved MC. I am not sure, but I didn't see it there last year. I think its a great rose for the Pac. NW.

    Thanks, Michael. My suspicion is that it can't take the heat here (8A). Or it wants a lot more water than it's getting.

    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    The new variety of Rosa hybrida shrub rose plant of the present invention was created during June 2002 at Greenfield, Wis., U.S.A., 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 ‘Radbrite’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,391). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) of the new variety was the ‘Radell’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
    ‘Radbrite’בRadell’.
