"Bermuda's Kathleen" rose Reviews & Comments
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.

I notice on the main page for Bermuda Kathleen that it is listed as a "Medium red shrub," and then lower down "Red. Mild Fragrance..."
I've never seen it in a color that I'd call "red." It starts out creamy white, then deepens through shades of pale-medium pink, sometimes with some lavender involved. While it may, in some weather, become quite a deep pink, I don't think "red" would be appropriate. I'd suggest changing this part of the description.

The ARS (American Rose Society) apparently called it a “medium red shrub”.
We’ve changed the HelpMeFind description to “cream-white, ages to deep pink”. Thank you Malcolm.

I'm wondering about the evidence that this rose is a seedling of 'Mutabilis'. The references here seem to indicate that it is clearly not a sport, and that it "may" be a seedling, "seems to be related," "may be a hybrid," etc. So I'm wondering -- what is the real evidence that it *is* a direct seedling of 'Mutabilis', as the main page indicates? That should be a very easy thing to check via DNA (and we may do it if it has not been done already), but I'm wondering if perhaps it has been done, and the references here are just not being totally clear on the issue.

.....what is the real evidence that it *is* a direct seedling of 'Mutabilis', as the main page indicates.
The main page also indicates: "Parentage uncertain, see References". Unfortunately the database never did run to "may be, might be, possibly, seems like....". We have the choice to list the parentage, or to leave it out. What do you suggest we do?
......and the references here are just not being totally clear on the issue.
Are you talking about the references, or authors?

Why is this listed as a Hybrid Musk?

The reference says it is "not" a Hybrid musk; the classification needs to be changed.
