'Hazeldean' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

The parentage given reflects Percy Wright's second thoughts about the parentage (see note below), and is the parentage that seems most likely to those who grow the rose.

In Dakota Horticulture in the 1950's P. Wright wrote that he crossed R. spinosissima altaica with 'Harison's Yellow.' He also stated that 'Persian Yellow's' pollen is rarely fertile; making 'Harison's Yellow' the more probable cross. [Brian Porter] AIternately "it was in 1938, when I had recently moved to Moose Range, that Prof. C. F. Patterson mailed me flower buds of Persian Yellow and it was from these that 'Hazeldean', 'Yellow Altai', 'Kilwinning', and others that I discarded are descended." ( PW in corr. to W. Schowalter 07/17/1976.) [Pittao]. 'Harison's Yellow' [Fillmore, Roscoe] Numerous references in P.W.'s correspondence to W Schowalter indicates that the cross was 'Persian Yellow.' [Pittao] See also 1942? Kinnikinnick Vol 4 #2 P.48 for another confirmation for 'Persian Yellow.' [Pittao]
