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.

This shrub is probably my most consistent, reliably blooming rose. It's quite healthy here in humid Baltimore, MD. Its only drawback is its lack of fragrance, but since my sense of smell isn't that great anymore, I'll give it a pass. Really cute little guy!

I love this rose. Its so cute. I think it will be the main hit for 2016.
Somewhat un-traditional for a floribunda, but in an awesome color and on a healthy plant.
The blooms are great for buttonholes. Which is not something I have seen in a lot of commercial roses in a long while.
The description says deep pink edges, but this rose has the "China affect", meaning the blooms darken with more and more sun. They become red. Deep pink edges is really down-playing the actual effect. They start cream and become more and more red where the sun hits. Very pretty effect.

How has its health been where you are, Michael? It seems quite intriguing.

It is pretty good. Good rebloom. Easy to grow. Not too big. Cute blooms. I thought there was BS on it this spring, but I think that was lower leaf anthracnose or cercospora. Anthracnose and/or cerospora is common on the original KO types.
It is HIGHLY sterile. Far more sterile than DKO. Try to dry out and crush pollen for any takes. I would breed it against mildew, as that is what the original KOs love to perpetuate in seedlings.
Just saw someone added the patent information. I have been on patent break during summer. My hypothesis was correct, that is was from DKO and a "Magic Carousel hybrid". Wouldn't have guessed the last 1/4 of the lineage, though. Too obscure for North America.

Thanks, sir! Mildew is my deal breaker. I would expect black spot from anything Magic Carousel.

I haven't seen any on it, but I just know that working with DKO requires 2 generations of breeding against it to get it to go away from your own breeding stock.

I am not sure what happened, but this rose is healthier than ever, but the dang thing is 6' tall now. Never stops blooming. Always has buttonhole type blooms in massive clusters. Bolt upright, too. I guess when its beyond maturity, it gets taller, but stays the same width.
I have no feeling of culling it. It has been a great rose and "color spot", but the spot is all wrong. It belongs where I would put something like Sunshine Daydream or Shreveport. Not going to be a fun rose to move.
