Is it possible for anyone to send me pollen from this rose? I used to own it for several years after raising it own-root, but I left it behind. I have an idea for it, but I dont want to raise an own-root just for pollen. Can anyone help out?
Also, will anyone have any ‘Golden Chersonese’ pollen? I want to try it on a polyantha type.
No one? =[ Maybe I should re-grow a new Belle Epoque. It was a good germinator, but no spaccccccccccccce 
Belle was a beautiful flower and grew reasonably well here, Michael, it just wasn’t sufficiently heat tolerant. Like early Pernetianas, it was a “thirty minute rose”, so it wasn’t maintained. I hope you find pollen. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you. Kim
Thanks, Kim.
Remember Me/Helmut Schmidt hybrid from Fryer’s is the one Im talking about. I didnt realize there are 5+ hybrids with the same name.
I wonder which of the four parents the seedlings would look like.

I dunno. The only thing I kept from it was Belle Epoque x Rosa primula, which I assume made Belle Epoque double one half of itself. The product was a slightly more double, yet nodding, floribunda clone of itself, which is completely sterile. While the color is identical, BE itself is highly fertile. Theyre both “smooth for HTs”, however.
