I discuss the Caninae type behavior at:

Last season I decided to use a Caninae rose, R. Pomifera, (the apple rose). It is a tetraploid so the egg should have 21 chromosomes and the pollen should have seven chromosomes.
The following of last winters crosses that involve R. Pomifera have grown at least one foot in height this summer (I consider that these are mature enough to survive the winter):
((Martin Frobisher X OP) X ((Therese Bugnet X OP) X OP)) X (pomifera X OP). Five plants.
(Martin Frobisher X OP) X (pomifera) X OP). One plant.
The following seedlings are alive but have grown less than one foot (these may not survive the winter - I have sprayed them with gibberellic acid to give them a boost):
((Martin Frobisher X OP) X ((Therese Bugnet X OP) X OP)) X (pomifera X OP). Eight plants.
(pomifera X OP) X ((Martin Frobisher X OP) X ((Therese Bugnet X OP) X OP))
(Martin Frobisher X OP) X (pomifera) X OP). One plant.
(Henry Hudson X OP) X (pomifera X OP). Six plants.
