Super Hero

General Discussion

I was at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum several weeks ago and I saw a new rose from Baileys called Super Hero. Does anyone have any experiance with it or know anything about it? HMF has it as Silver Jubilee x seedling. I was wondering if it is related to My Hero, which I have and like.

Thanks Paul

Hi Paul,

I don’t know its relationship to My Hero, but I saw it in a public garden in Iowa and elsewhere this summer and it does not have the same blackspot tolerance as My Hero. It was half way defoliated in Iowa, while My Hero was still fully foliated.

Sincerely,

David

Hi David,

Thanks for the info. My Hero is pretty healthy in my garden and it has been a very willing seed parent as well. I was hoping that Ping Lim had come up with a rose as healthy as My Hero but only hardier.

Take care,

Paul

The only 2 direct descendants that I know of that do not immediately pass on Silver Jubilee’s affinity for blackspot are Remember Me and American Honor. Armada, too, but I have not seen it in person…
