'Bedford - 15S03' 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.

We do not have ANY photos of this Rose!

Breeder's notes:

TO BE CULLED: After almost 10 years evaluation I've decided to cull this plant. Most of the pollen is not viable and it only occasionally sets hips (which usually abort). It has the unsightly habit of turning very anemic when the hot weather sets in. It takes up so much room, but contributes nothing to the breeding program. It will be removed after the 2020 fall flush.

Reference ID #CX: This plant was actually raised prior to 2011. As such it should have gotten a study name beginning with 'A'.
But the die has been cast and Bedford it will stay while being evaluated. The plant is VERY vigorous and grows non-stop.
I currently have it in a 22 gallon pot, but will need to move it up to a 50 in 2020. After a very impressive first (and sometimes second,) flush, the plant continues to grow after the heat sets in but exhibits unsightly anemic leaves. This defect disappears with the onset of cooler weather.

Patents:
