This is some wonderful genetic work from the famous low-profile, international rose breeding firm Adobe, Barnum & Bailey (ABB). ABB is one of the most technologically advanced rose-breeding firms in the world. I will order several of these marvelous roses as soon as I get the large sum of money promised for my help in getting the family fortune of a Nigerian princess into the USA. Thank you for bringing these wonderful roses to our attention.
What astounds me is there are actually people who believe this stuff and buy it. Get in line Peter, MY Nigerian connection is a “sure fire” thing! LOL!
Look at the total # of people who have “bought into” this. I didn’t do the math because my eyes were glazing over.
I think the name of the company says it all “DH” gate. Enter at own risk and we will take your money “DH” Thank you.
There was a Garden Web thread about it just a few weeks ago. I feel for the person who posted earlier last year admitting she bought rose seed on Ebay and raised radishes form them. Adding insult to injury.
I álso seen the most amazing rose plant 75% covered with cream to light yellow varigated leaves. Really outstanding contrast. I was so transfixed forgot to take a photo. For a small fee the location could be revealled.

Oooo! Neil! Think it’s stable or would it revert? hehehe
I don`t know but this was in a public park with well kept roses and in this area some people are going to want one just like it.

Nope, sorry, this one doesn’t do it for me. I’m still holding out for the blue one! Now where did I put that spray paint…?
Some years ago, a friend in the Ventura County Rose Society called to invite me to a book introduction at Lotus Land . She was one of the researchers for the book. The catch was I was to also accompany her to the Santa Barbara Rose Society rose show and bring every white rose I could muster.
I cut Iceberg and Snowbird. She had vials of blue food coloring all ready and I held them in the car, becoming VERY motion sick as we barreled down the freeway. Iceberg became a soft blue with a soft greenish center. Snowbird became a very ill shade of light blue with blue spots and picotee. I carried the two flowers we selected under my jacket while she palmed a couple of vases and we slid into the kitchen area. I vased the flowers while she wrote the cards for “Smurf Queen” (Iceberg) and “Dali’s Dalmatian” then slipped them on the tables. The alternate name for the blue Iceberg was to have been “Blue Ice”. Jeri Jennings who is very active in Heritage and found roses here, also breeds Dalmatians. We watched as she led a newbie around the show. As the newbie’s eyes caught Smurf Queen, she gasped, “Is that REAL?!” Jeri snorted, “No, but it’s a damn good fake!” and led her away.
Had it not been at the Santa Barbara show, we would have likely been tarred and feathered, but as we had slipped them in after judging, it was shrugged off. So, you see? There is precedent for my suggestion of Krylon or Rustoleum, for which I was called a “Philistine”. hehehe Guess you’re one too, Sharon! LOL!
Fred Meyers was selling a light pink mini pot rose that had variegated foliage. Some of them were reverting. The plants looked cool since they had some pink margins, but the blooms had tissue-paper thin petals, which made me decide to not waste $5.99 on it.
Heirloom offered a sport of Britestripe back in the very early nineties which had variegated foliage. It reverted continuously and was quickly dropped. It was quite interesting all those years ago.
