Does anyone know if the following Ralph Moore mini’s are fertile as either seed or pollen parents:
Great Century, Sunshine Sally, Kayla and Vineyard Song.
HMF does not list any decendants.
‘Vineyard Song’: pollen and seed setter, yes.
I assume you meant ‘Golden Century’? It does not set seed, but it may have fertile pollen.
Hi John:
A rule of thumb that I use - try any pollen, it is usually fertile (there are exceptions). However, commercial rose varieties are more often than not poor at producing hips (though there are many that do a good job of it).
