Thank you, Arturo, you're welcome! Good luck with your breeding. I grew Mr. Lens' Pink Mystery for some years, which he sent to me, with ten other roses, as "thank yous" for sending him Stellata mirifica, Minutifolia and many others. A mutual friend could fly anywhere American Airlines flew for the taxes as her father had been a pilot for them for many years. Her son lived in Belgium so she was back and forth visiting frequently and she always visited Mr. Lens when she went. Those were fun days! I could literally send garbage bags full of prepared cuttings without issue!
Species can result in some pretty "unusual" results, particularly when you start generating fertile triploids. This is a double Spithamea X 1-72-1, Ralph Moore's sister seedling to his Rise'n Shine.
If you can obtain a triploid to use in breeding, you can make some rather remarkable progress in very short time. Fortuitously, Robusta is a fertile triploid....
