Notes:
Excellent maker of hips when controlled crosses are made. This rose appears to be strongly self-incompatible because I've never seen an OP bloom make a hip. The stigma pads remain receptive and moist for a long period of time. From what I have observed so far, this rose is not a good pollen parent.
