It is the kind of result I am looking for with my crosses. Wonderful plant Rob!

It is my pleasure Margit. As it seems to have similar foliage of J5, I cross my fingers for better disease resistance for it.

It is noted Henry, thank you! Duane, I agree with the comment of Kim. Why not try both, pollen and seed? Good luck with your crosses and have fun! As you Philip, I have already have had some yellowish-white germination also with same results as you (disappointing). You can see on photo below that co...

Me too Duane, and I hope they will have good diseases resistance?!

Last summer, I have pollinated three Caroyal flowers and I have harvested three fruits with thirteen seeds total. Finally six germinations occurred but only three have survived. Among these three young seven weeks old germinations survivors, two have unexpected vigour but the third will probably dis...

This topic is a curious coincidence. I have also a seedling with this particularity. It is a new seven weeks old seedling, from Lac Majeau OP x Gay Centennial, made last summer just for a test of fertility. I have been very surprise when I have seen first variegated leaves on it. But it seems my exc...

A big thank you Karl for this information and for the references, it is much appreciated! I will see next year if the same phenomenon repeats itself, then I can multiply the sport.

Kim Thank you Kim for this encouraging information. I cross my fingers for positive fertility and germination!? Margit I agree with you Margit that it should be a nice plant. I thought too to do something with this cane, probably some hardwood cuttings at the end of the season. If not, it will be ne...

Thank you very much Kim for this clarification. I will follow up its development. As Prairie Sweetheart does not set fruits, I hope that the sport will be able to produce some. If not, at least its pollen will be more accessible.

Hi Johannes, Firstly, you are not rude and I am sure your skills are as good as mine, if not more! Concerning your question, I would say around 40% because of damp and for the others, because of slow growing, weakness or malformations. Maybe I will try again some crosses on Jens next year, with same...

I have often seen «proliferation» on flowers and seeds growing out of hips. When I have went round of my recent crosses, I have been surprised to see a crested bud on my Harison’s Salmon x Prairie Peace cross, that made only 3 weeks ago. It is the first time I see «proliferation» on hip (see photo)!...

My Prairie Sweetheart is just finishing its first flowering, and already new grows show their buds. But on a new 5 feet stem that sprouts from the base of the plant, the flowers are different. They are double instead of very double and quartered (see photo). Can we say that it is a »sport» or maybe ...

I agree with you Johanne, Jens Munk is a really nice bush. Last year I have tried some crosses with different pollens on it: Golden Wings on 9 flowers but all fail; Le Cid (hybrid rugosa, Vigneron, 1909) on 6 flowers, but all fail; Prairie Peace on 5 flowers, 4 fruits, 115 seeds but no germination; ...

Bonjour Joe, I already have had this same surprise like that and, I agree with Kim, the following year all flowers were normal. Among my new seedlings this year, I have again a flower with four petals but on three rows. But the number of sepals is also four. This is first time I observe this and one...

It remind me the gallique ‘’La Belle Sultane’’, magnifique Joe!

Joe, your seedling seems very vigorous with its ramifications. It is already very nice, but in some years, it will have gorgeous look with this metallic foliage and its yellow red flowers. Congratulations!

What a luminous flower, Rob! And its lustrous foliage adds a superb background. Congratulations!

Tom, certainly the flowers will have a nice background with this purplish foliage, I like it very much!

Hi Rob,
I like the flower of Quadra and I think your seedling is promising. I hope to see some photos when it will bloom.
