Hi Mongoose
How much magnification does your head magnifier have?
Congratulations on the beautiful seedling!

Welcome back Mike!

Rick The blossom looks like 'Holland Double White altai' to me. However the foliage of your rose is not very spino looking. To my eyes the lanceolate shaped leaves in the foreground resemble the leaves of 'White Mountains". 'Beauty of Leafland' has a lot of pink/yellow tones deep in the blossom and ...

Hi Rick
Congratulations on a cool find!
Hope you can get a cutting to root.

Congratulations Jim!

Love the glossy leaves Andre. Thanks for sharing.

Johannes You might try this person in Quebec who lists Canary Bird on HMF https://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=3.4560 Or if you are really desperate you can have my frozen pollen of Canary Bird, Father Hugo and Rosa alabukensis. They have been frozen for a few years but the pollen looks OK i...

Thank you for this, David.

The repeat blooming spinosissima 'Peter Boyd' developed by Knud Pederson of Denmark was introduced at the 2018 World Rose Convention in Denmark. It took 16 years to develop. A second repeating spinosissima 'Blushing Love' was also named in 2018. ('Peter Boyd' is on order and I will test it in Albert...

For whatever it is worth, a CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) officer advised me that sending pollen to or from the U.S. is not restricted. So go ahead and send it without worry.

For whatever it is worth, I've never found Agnes makes seed. And for the first time my plant of Hansa set a lot of op large hips this summer. Possibly because we had double the normal amount of rainfall this year?

You might want to try rooting a cutting from that cane. It would be neat if the new double flowers carried through to make a whole plant.

Interesting historical column about the Jens Munk rose. Published in the Winnipeg Free Press. Thanks to Paul Olsen for pointing it out.

Thanks Joe. I often use frozen pollen and check for viability with a standard microscope. The pocket microscope will sure be faster than fussing around preparing slides.

Congratulations Rick. Good luck with the crosses.

The foliage is particularly attractive too. A very nice blend achieved from two very different parents.

"OMG" works for me ;)
