Notes:
The seed parent is an unnamed hulthemia hybrid developed by Jim Sproul, code named M37-1. Jim was generous enough to share the plant with me in the spring of 2011 and I quickly crossed it with a number of other roses. This seedling was one of seven from that first cross. It is a big plant (4-5' tall) and is stronger than either of its parents. It sets hips easily and passes on the red blotch well. It is also a good pollen parent. It has shown no mildew or rust.
