Well-known by China as "Ink Red Rose". Yunnan, China grows this rose for making rose tisane. :)

The name comes from a poem by Burns:
A ROSE-BUD by my early walk,
Adown a corn-enclosed bawk,
Sae gently bent its thorny stalk,
All on a dewy morning.
Ere twice the shades o' dawn are fled,
In a' its crimson glory spread,
And drooping rich the dewy head,
It scents the early morning.
I make no apologies here. The world could do with a bit more poetry right now.
If 'Crimson Glory' is hardy to USDA 4 (probably not in my heavy, acid soil, but in some places) why has it not passed that hardiness on to its' descendants?

Who knows? I have seen so few genetic analyses of hardiness. It seems that hardy roses keep a high level of lipids throughout winter. What regulates this and how is it passed on?

In contrast to the description: I have never seen mildew on it, but blackspot completely defoliates it (living in Denmark). I wonder how much this is affected by light and soil conditions.
