Culled mid-summer 2020 due to some kind of blight. I did not have a replacement plant. This was likely a Triploid and very difficult to get into the breeding program anyway.

Breeding code 9V. Love this plant. Having grown it for 10 years, I still cannot get a cross out of it. It blooms very late - usually well past breeding season. It does not set hips frequently. It is stuffed in the back corner of the yard in a 50 gal pot - in the shade. It blooms heavily every year, puts on growth for next year, and waits out the hot weather. Never seen a hint of disease - ever.
