Thank you Henry

22

I got my first remontant true yellow out of Prairie Harvest x (Rugelda x R15) today. Hopefully it will fully open tomorrow.

I’m hoping it has red stamens.

The first blossom from this cross was pale pink. See link.

That’s a great color Robert! I look forward to seeing a photo of the opened bloom.

Excellent color!

Robert,

Great color. I too am looking forward for the open bloom to see if it has red stamens. So far none of my seedlings have them.

I wonder how many different roses have red stamens? Has anyone put together a list?

Paul

Thanks, the color is what intrigues me too. It might be a bit richer than the pollen parent. I’m happy too that it seems to have a fair number of petals.

I was looking at the pedigree. It seems unlikely it will be hardier than zone 4.

Paul G, colored stamens that don’t darker as they age have intrigued me for a long time. It’s one of the things I look for.

Conversely stamens that turn dark and don’t age well are something I try to breed away from.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen any kind of list regarding stamens but it would be interesting to put one together.

I do have seedlings with colored stamens that never darken.

Stamens that don

28

Sorry I missed your last statement.

29

That is really a nice primary yellow–and it “looks” like it has good substance to it’s very nicely shaped petals.

30

The substance is great but the blossom seems unusually slow to fully open. I guess that’s a good thing. I’ve noted the color is already losing some of it’s intensity.

In this cross I am finding that some apparently remontant seedlings are taking their time in forming their first bud with more than the usual number of leaves forming in advance.

It’s a good thing I’ve been patient as I might have culled some of these seedlings as non-remontant. Perhaps some are climbers?

Powdery Mildew is rearing it’s ugly head, but not so far with this yellow one. I’m sure it’s there, somewhere.

31

Wow what a nice deep yellow color, It’s very nice.

32

Here is the same blossom open. It’s faded a bit but the color is still pretty good. The stamens so far seem shorter that Rugelda X R15. There is some redness to them but its less pronounced. The character of the pollen parent is easy to see. I’m happy with it.

33

“I’m happy with it.”

Ive been waiting for you to finally say that, Ropbert :stuck_out_tongue: It looks nice and full of promise.

34

Jadae, I think this yellow seedling is likely as close to a remontant version of Rugelda x R15 as I’m going to get.

It will be interesting to see what the growth habit turns out like.

I have a couple of other Rugelda x R15 crosses yet to flower.

I’ll likely pursue some line breeding after I see what’s what. That should reinforce some of the characteristics I’m looking for.

35

Robert, thanks for the updates.

In northern Ohio, I am probably at least a month away from being able to post any pictures.

36

I look forward to hearing more about your progress Henry.

Do your Prairie Harvest x (Rugelda x R15) seedlings look like mine?

Here is another cross, opening now. Puicture taken this morning. This is Chinatown x (Rugelda x R15)

Thanks, Robert

Yet another seedling out of Rugelda x R15 as pollen parent. I dedicated my entire stock plant to this cross last season and this is all I have to show for it. The only seedling from this cross that was vigorous enough to retain and remontant.

I’ve hesitated to post this one as I have been unsure of hybridity.

Looking at it today it seems I can detect more yellow in the blossom and this flowering the red stamens of the pollen parent are readily apparent.

One thing that makes me suspicious this could be a self is that so far it’s smooth. Seedlings out of Rugelda x R15 tend to be more heavily prickled than average.

Robert, those leaves seem to have some Rugelda influence, and the stamens look about right for that cross.

It will be nice if it’s fertile and the color holds reasonably well.

Thanks Peter, the color holds well enough but the blossom shattered in just one day, at least in warm conditions.



I’m exciting that it’s smooth so far. I’ll try using it next Spring.

I’ll likely give away my specimen of Rugelda x R15 this Winter now that I’m fairly certain I have remontant offspring out of at least a few seed parents.

Rugelda x R15 is hugely vigorous here. I put it on a experimental rootstock that turned out to be surprisingly successful.

My specimen is now over 12’ high and about 8’ wide. I think this is it’s third season. Flowering was light this year as we had a particularly mild Winter. I don’t have the space to keep it. It’s shading out everything around it.
