'R. wichuraiana 'Thornless'' 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 made a few late season crosses with this rose as the pollen parent. It is very generous with pollen so now well see if it's pollen fertile. I made crosses with diploid, triploid and tetrapoid seed parents.

And?... The suspense is killing me.

Presumably, offspring would be once blooming, and take years to bloom, but I would be very curious as to how many hips/seeds/germinations she gave you, and the percentage of thornless offspring.

Wichurana 'Thornless' is an extremely aggressive grower. It is smooth on the stems but has vicious prickles on the underside of the rachis.
