Golden Angel X Soulieana

The San Jose Heritage Rose Garden has a large plant of this Ralph Moore hybrid. Photos of it are on the HMF page linked below. They propagated it for their recent sale and have two, five gallon plants left over for sale. I emailed Jill Perry of the garden to ask if they could be bare rooted and mailed to someone here if you are interested. She said probably not, but she felt sure cuttings could be sent to interested parties for “postage and a little for effort”.

What Ralph grew as Soulieana is an enigma. Paul Barden finds it creates repeat flowering seedlings in the first generation, which is obvious as this cross is flowering now. It might be something worth pursueing. If anyone is interested, you may contact Jill at the link on the bottom of this Heritage Garden page. The page contains all of the remaining roses available for sale.

I think this might well be something of interest here. Kim

In 2010 I crossed one of my proprietary seedlings (see URL below) with Moore’s “soulieana” and obtained about a dozen seedlings. Every one of them bloomed about 8 weeks after germination and have bloomed continuously since then. They are clearly hybrids between the two parents, not just selfings of the seed bearer. This certainly makes me wonder what exactly the Moore soulieana is, since none of these seedlings should have bloomed in the first year, and certainly ought not to be continuous bloomers. Curious!

Is that the link you meant to post, Paul? Kim

Paul was kind enough to furnish me with R. soulieana seed last fall. I’m not sure if these came from Ralph Moore’s version of soulieana. Germination was heavy, and I’ve kept four to grow on. One that I’ve kept is the only seedling to bloom this spring after germination. It bloomed when only six-eight inches high. No further bloom to date on this plant or any of the other three seedlings. I’m really curious to see what happens next year. I also have Golden Angel. May have to try that cross myself!

Kim, yes, it is. That is the aforementioned “proprietary seedling” used to make the soulieana cross :slight_smile:

Thanks Paul, I’m sorry. I misread and thought it should have been to one of the Soulieana seedlings. Kim

Kim,

I am not going to add any of the 42-03-02 X soulieana seedlings to HMF until things are fixed there. (I can’t create new entries, and if HMF admin creates one for me, I can’t add data to it!)

I have pics ready to create entries for these hybrids, but won’t try to do the work till HMF is ready for me :wink:

P

I’m sorry! I know it’s being worked on, and there is continuing dialog about how to handle the disease, pest and virus symptom entries. I’m glad it’s possible to add them to the Glossary section. I’m asking for a parent tab for each of the three to collect them together in one reference so you don’t have to know which virus, disease or pest you want, they’ll all be shown under the main tabs for each.

Hopefully, they’ll have things sorted out soon! Kim

That is a very pretty rose Kim, Moore really made some interesting crosses, the coloring is beautiful. Looks like it could make some pretty shrubs.

I hope someone takes Jill up on the cuttings. You know how tenuous a public garden is in the first place. Having ONE plant of it and that in a public garden is just too scary. I’m sure somebody can make something wonderful from it. Kim

There is very little information, other than it being a rambler, on HMF for this rose. Does anyone have any information on it? Thanks!
