Pollen has some fertility. I have several seedlings using the pollen. No success as a seed parent. Disease-free in my garden. This is a wonderful rugosa hybrid.

Is it possible to list the parentage as Unknown x Belle Poitevine?

I wonder why this was not introduced? It has so much going for it and nothing negative that I've noticed so far. I look forward to using pollen from this one next season. Hopefully there is some pollen fertility.

It's quite possible hasn't able to get around to it, or he wanted to keep it for breeding. I would love to see it in commerce, though.

It wasn't what he sought from the cross. Unless it fit a fairly narrow window of what he saw in his mind's eye, and particularly if it wasn't a miniature, Mr. Moore had virtually no idea what to do with a rose. Tangerine Jewel was what he "saw" from Bracteata. Pink Powderpuff, Out of the Night and Out of Yesteryear completely confused him. Peach Candy fit his parameters of "Rugosa". It took him a while longer to "see" Linda Campbell and Round Tuit. Joe Winchell had the same "rose blindness". He could see little value in anything which wasn't an obvious exhibition HT. They simply weren't on their "radars".
A number of us would visit Mr. Moore and he would frequently ask, "Would someone BUY this?" Frequently, the answers were resounding "YES"s, but he couldn't see it. But, let an orange-pink or yellow mini flower and it was the first to be marked for further study. Don't get me wrong, I respected and loved the man. He taught me MUCH, but his vision simply couldn't understand other roses until quite late in his career.
