'Bubble Double' 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.

A radiation-induced mutation of Radtkopink (Pink Double Knock Out)

The new variety of Rosa hybrida rose plant was derived from the ‘Radtkopink’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,507) through the use of induced mutagenesis followed by selection. More specifically, during September 2005 tissue cultured shoots of the ‘Radtkopink’ variety were subjected to gamma irradiation to form a population of plants which included various mutants. These plants were thereafter grown in a greenhouse at West Grove, Pa., U.S.A., and were carefully evaluated. A single plant of the present invention was selected during June 2006 from among the resulting plants primarily in view of its distinctive light pink blossom coloration combined with other attractive traits.
