41 degrees south
My very first, own crossing, bloom. Of the 143 seeds from 15 harvested hips across 9 different roses, the result was only 4 germinations. The mother of this one, the only one to flower - 23 weeks after germination, was the imposter Take it Easy (the not Gertrude Jekyll @ Gertrude Jekyll or Hyde ). Father (I hope, earwigs, ants and other insects ravage many blooms ahead of my engagement…) is species rose, R. glauca.
With the species rose connection in mind, does having six petals already, instead of five, lean towards better potential for developing into something more fluffy?
It has a tea fragrance (not my cup of tea), bright red, is ultra thorny already, no glaucous foliage/red stems, ie nothing R. glauca to show for itself. Just imposter (and imposter parents) symptoms. So not on my way to a grey foliaged, thornless, orange, perfumed, climber…
However, it is something other than pink and has a healthy knot of pistils so, although disappointed by my overall hybridising results, there is some satisfaction in that (and three others, without imposter genes, are yet to bloom. But time is running out for this season 
)
