Two Tapis Volant seedlings 8 weeks old and forming flower buds.

The R. tunquinensis are growing very well considering they have been frosted several times already. Some of the other crosses which I have done this year, out of 2"tubes and into 6"pots. The R. tunquinensis are the larger ones.
Here is a pic of some Hybrid Multiflora and Hybrid Musks which germinated in Autumn this year.
One of the seedlings of R. tunquinensis from India is showing some R. gigantea influences in its foliage
A few of the seedlings are now going into the garden plots.
Seedlings O8 P9 and R. tunquinensis. Those which are still in pots are Hybrid Mulitflora and Hybrid Musk crosses.
Here is thornless line I am working on, using pollinator P50 has given me offspring which are completely thornless with good health, even at an early stage the seedling shows good flowering possibilities . The second seedling is a Whiz Kid X F1 rugosa.

Hybrid Musk and Hybrid Multiflora planted out in the growing out beds. I am very happy with the growth of these 3 month old seedlings. This is 50% of these lines planted , the other 50% will probably be planted over the weekend.
For those who like diploid roses. Here are two China roses which I pollinated with “Étoile de La Glanerie” a Hybrid Musk. The first is the China rose “Old Blush” O14 N2, the second is the China rose “Ten Thousand Lights” O19 N2. The last pic is the pollinator, it forms these blooms in very large clusters.
This is a seedling of McClinton Tea X polyantha type full double derived from using Kathleen. At a very young age the urge to produce abundant buds is visible, I will let one bloom and the rest will be cut off to promote growth. The growth looks very Tea like. The first pic is of the seedling, the second is the polyantha pollinator.
Two seedling which are displaying good traits. The first is Seedling O28 P50, (Wendy X Altissimo) X P50 showing good thornless canes with good repeat ability. The second seedling is the China rose (Ten Thousand Lights X P50) displaying small prickles with flowering ability.
Here are a couple of Hybrid Musk/Multiflora seedlings which germinated in May 2015.
The first is a seedling from Robe Fleurie, this little seedling is almost thornless. The second is from Princesse Violette, a multiflora hybrid. Both are displaying very good vigour and health.
A very healthy seeding derived from “Red Ballerina” Harkness.
Hi Warren, I would like to see the outcome of this “Seedling EIS 9”, if the leaves stay as healthy as it is now, it could be a winner. Well done.
Thanks David
The first seedling EDH 8 is a seedling derived from Francis E Lester, the second seedling EDH 17 is one from Princesse Violette. Both are producing a large amount of buds even at this young age.
China rose Ten Thousand Lights X P2 ( Pollinator “Étoile de La Glanerie” in the above threads), Bloom semi double, perfume is strong Dianthus.
Seedling O24 P18, a Hybrid Tea x The temptress. First bloom from a seedling germinated this year, the perfume is very strong and fruity compared with The Temptress which smells of linseed oil.
Seedling O24 P18 type 1 fully opened, petal count is 23.
Seedling O19 P2 type 2. Seed parent is the China Rose “Ten Thousand Lights” X “Étoile de La Glanerie”. First lot of blooms as a seedling.
The variations of colour with the cross O24 P18. Pink, light pink, mid pink white reverse and cerise.
