This is a sport of America. Its listed in one of the ARS magazines. However, I do not have a specific reference as proof.

We trust your memory but can you be specific just to be sure we're on the same page.

Michael......
I have listed the rose as a sport of 'America' bred by Warriner, but there are more than one rose name 'America' in the HMF database. Do you have any way of confirming that 'Royal America' sported from Warriner's rose ?

Lyn

Can you confirm the 'America' bred by Warriner is the correct one. Thanks!

I just stumbled on this chain of comments. I never got the message way back when :[

Might it possibly be a seedling of 'America"? I had it once. I liked it very much, but the flowers were more of a cup shape, not so flat as 'America'. The bush and foliage were very like 'America'. I think it must be out of commerce now.
What I had looked very like the photos in Beth's Northern CA garden, with the nice creamy color. The page for breeder Curt Cooper shows RA as having bred by him.

It just occurred to me what a strange name this rose has.
Is it meant to be like JFK "royal"? I guess I dont get it.

Cl. Royal America has now bloomed in my yard from a body bag bought at one of the big boxes, might have been Walmart.
The flower looks exactly as I remember it and as it looks in the HMF photos. Pretty yellowish cream color, cupped shape, NOT the HT shape of Cl. America. I am rather skeptical about claims that it is a sport of Cl. America, although it could be a seedling of that rose.
If it is a sport of Cl. America, then BOTH the color and shape of the flower were altered by the mutation, which would involve simultaneous mutation of several genes, as I understand the process.

I can guarantee it's a sport since part of one of my blooms reverted back to an orange reddish color with a slight bent similar to that of a hybrid T. Also a gene can control more than one trait it's called pleiotropy. I hope that helps

Thank you. That does help. Alas, my Cl. RA did not survive the winter.

This has turned up again at Walmart this year. This picture looks like the rose I used to grow.
For 4.98, I thought, why not, even though it likely won't survive a hard winter. Maybe we will get a mild one this winter.
I wonder if it is a sport or seedling found in the rose fields at Tyler, TX, like the now extinct 'New Orleans', a striped sport of 'Peace'. I agree with the poster who called this one of the best white climbers, although I would consider it a large shrub.
