I am also enjoying watching my Basye's Legacy (probable amphidiploid X commander gillette) seedling grow, it is FINALLY just starting to grow stems after 8-9 months post germination. It has two tiny stems like a "V" configuration, one has tiny bristles I can just make out, the other is smooth. NO pr...

The only time I got some sort of histamine-release type itch was when I messed around opening some R. bracteata hips. In that case, the "hairs" that came out of those hips gave me a nasty itch wherever they happened to fall onto my skin, but once rinsed off it was soon back to normal, with no treatm...

...and of course I am very sorry to hear about how it affects you.

:O(

Hmmm... I am very lucky that way, no allergies to pollen.

I hope I never get sensitized to it over time tho.......... *crosses fingers*.

lol.. I just gave him your complement, I am so glad you 2 have such great minds !!

LOL that is what my housemate just said !!!!!

The pollen production is good, and this went onto Eyes For You.

Hi Pierre, definitely correct there !

If I was a betting man I would actually not lay any bets on this one !

..and, YES, of course the resulting tetraploidy of the 'Rosa moschata var. abysinnica Crépin × Rosa Rugosa 'Rubra' seedling (= probable amphidiploid) could well have been the result of a pollen donation from some other non-related rose in that garden via random insect visitations if the blooms had...

Hi Pierre, The reason I posted what I did was just to correct what appeared to be an error on a web database (see above, has since been amended through the course of time) regarding how The Probable Amphidiploid was produced. If I read Dr Basye's article correctly, my interpretation of what is writt...

LATE EDIT: above should more correctly read:

".. and who knows, a tiny percentage of them might even be natural chromosome doubled R. wichurana selfed seedlings (diploid>>>>>tetraploid) too ! "

That amount of saturated color transfer is fantastic for a species F1, well done !

Hi Larry,

I have often wondered about that sort of streaking, thank you for shedding light on that one!

No I haven't heard of those jokes, no matter :O)

... and who knows, a tiny percentage of them might even be natural amphidiploids (diploid>>>>>tetraploid) too !

Simon, those sound like great ideas. Hey... I was just thinking, another thing you might consider as well as what you are thinking, is to try germinating many OP R. wichurana seeds as well.....from things written elsewhere and if I recall correctly, I think this is how Dr Basye actually came up with...

Thanks Kim, and also a big thanks for posting this amazing series of articles written by Dr Basye!

Hi Kim, It appears to me from what Dr Basye reports here in this article (unless I am missing something), that his 'Probable Amphidiploid' (aka Basye's amphidiploid) i.e Rosa moschata var. abysinnica Crépin × Rosa Rugosa 'Rubr a' was created by him collecting OP seeds from the species cross, and t...

Thank you, again.

he would have incorporated the "third BS stud bull, Wichurana" in the mix when creating 77-361 I have always remembered this information, from when I first read it from your writings somewhere else, I think it was HMF. Well done on Lynnie. Firstly thank you for sharing (and thus preserving ) such m...
