'Bullseye' 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.

Breeder's notes:

This is not the same rose as 'Bull's Eye'. My rose was registered before the hybrid hulthemia rose known as 'Bull's Eye'. Please note that my 'Bullseye' is a single word. The name is derived from the target-like effect the white eye makes and also my feeling that this rose is pretty close to my goals of breeding care-free and healthy roses as per the Oxford Dictionary's definition of the word "used to refer to something that achieves exactly the intended effect".

Seedling is very fertile and has been used many times as a seed parent. Seed germinates easily. Registered 5/25/2011. Not overly thorny.

Sister seedling to 'Green 'n' Gold' though they were not hip-mates (different pollinations, same Mum).
