I have to revise my opinion, this year for the first time a few hips with open pollination.	REPLY

Not fully hardy in southern Finland. Gets more winterkill than the spinosissima hybrids Stanwell perpetual and Klaus Groth in my garden. Susceptible to blackspot. Sets op hips and seeds germinate relatively easily, but very poor success rate in hand pollination.	REPLY

Is there any explanation as to why pollinating this rose is so hard? I'm new to rose hybridizing, so maybe I'm missing something. And how is it the other way around, using Aicha as the pollen parent? I think it's an exciting rose; I found one specimen in my city, growing 2 meters high and wide, and flourishing, without any human care as far as I could notice.	REPLY

It's certainly a beautiful and tough rose, except perhaps for the blackspot susceptibility. I don't know why Aicha is reluctant to accept pollen from other roses. I have the impression that species roses (and apparently hybrids close to species) often are reluctant to accept pollen from modern hybrids, and work better as pollen parent. Someone else may know better. I haven't used Aicha as pollen parent extensively, but I thinks it's fertile.

Thanks for this information. I'm looking to grow Aicha this year and am also interested in trying to breed roses in a very amateur, purely for enjoyment, way. I'm hopefully ordering from Palatine Roses once their site is up and running.	REPLY

This rose seems very winter hardy. Had no damage after the quite harsh winter 20-21, when many hardy roses had a lot of dry branches in southern Finland. Nicely mossed and resin-scented buds.	REPLY

The flowers are scentless but last very long, about 10 days, making the bloom very abundant.	REPLY
