Breeder's notes:
This is an OP x LCL HT, Souvenir de Claudius Denoyel seedling. Its other siblings except one are similar to SdCD except in slight bloom form, color, and leaf form. This however is a miniature which is a bit of a fluke. The bloom is fully double. The foliage and bloom form are reminiscent of a Hybrid Perpetual. It is currently being grown to be used in a miniature rose breeding program. Its ploidy and virility are unknown as of 2024. The three things that prompted me to keep this specimen are its rapid rebloom, royal purple color, and fully double bloom form.
Patents:
Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
