'Magda's Rose 2' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Breeder's notes:

Magda's Rose 2 is an open-pollinated seedling of R. primula (from PIckering). In November 2014 I planted 6 R. primula seeds from a hip collected earlier in the year and stored in the refrigerator. Five seeds germinated, 2 bloomed in 2016 (both with white flowers), and 2 in 2017 (both with yellow flowers). Magda's Rose 2 is one of the 2017 bloomers. Her canes have so far been red to maroon and are very striking combined with the prolific thorns. This rose is named after one of my Hungarian Kuvasz, Magda. Although Magda had a white coat in toys she preferred yellow and orange ones, and when taken shopping would invariably pick a yellow or orange toy. Her favorite was a huge bright yellow rubber hippopotamus. Magda's Rose 2 is planted in my front yard, in the area designated Magda's Garden in her honor. She died in 2014 at the age of 10 1/2.
