This red Yves Piaget x Bohemian Rhapsody seedling is named "Sandy Hook" since I got the rosehips from Robert Neil Rippetoe in 2012, that's when my ex-neighbor moved to Sandy Hook, CT. Her 6-year-old daughter got shot along with many 1st-graders. I grieve for that little girl. The girl's older brother was my daughter's playmate.
Sandy Hook has a baby-powder/old rose scent with acidic rain but becomes grape juice and red wine with my hard well tap water at pH 9. Grape juice was described by a few posters on its parent Yves Piaget.
Sandy Hook is very drought tolerant and compact at 1.5' x 1.5' as 11th-year-own root in my zone 5. It requires much less water than any of my 160 fragrant own roots. Never see rust nor mildew, but it has blackspots after blooming if alkaline minerals (calcium and potassium) are not given to neutralize the acidic rain here at pH 4.5.
Sandy Hook is much healthier in a fast-draining pot and watered with alkaline tap water than with my poor drainage heavy clay with acidic rain.
I never get poked since upper canes are 100% thornless, and rabbits don't eat it due to bitterness of its leaves. Rabbits ate my Abraham Darby and Munstead Wood instead.
Sandy Hook's scent is more stable than Munstead Wood, but with the same intensity as my William Shakespeare 2000.
I prefer Sandy Hook's delicious blend of grape juice and old rose (reminds me of a sweet toddler's face) over W.S. 2000's violets and old rose (reminds me of funeral home).
