Are there any garden hybrids of this rose? It seems like it would be good for breeding ground cover roses, being a vigorous low creeper.

The quickest way to check for hybrids on HMF is to click the LINEAGE tab. There you have the option of checking descendants by name or by generation, where you'll see the garden hybrids of this species.

I should have mentioned that you can read about extensive breeding using Skinners Rambler in the 1950's by Dr. Risley of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of New Hampshire. Search HMF's PUBLICATIONS & ARTICLES for "Breeding and Improving Ornamentals" for a link to a digitized copy of the Bulletin.

I did some crosses this summer and got some hips with Applejack.

I was at a fall workshop at Ashdown roses with Michael Marriott, David Austin's nursery manager and during the slide show of roses he let slip that this one is out of the noisette Claire Jacquire, which it does strongly resemble. I have 2 Malvern Hills coming for spring 08 based on its noisette heritage, as the noisettes have shown superior disease resistance for me in my organic garden here in the black spot belt of the mid atlantic region of the US. This should be a good rose. Will report back after a season on its disease resistance.

The disease resistance.on Malvern Hills have been excellent in my garden, nothing at all.
It seems to be quite winter hardy too, had 3 weeks of -15 celcius bare frost this winter and it had no winter damage at all. This is in my book an excellent rose, so much so that I bought an other one today and now have 3.

What say you on this rose, I have heard that it is a sparse bloomer. Did it end up being disease resistant? Thanks for any information on this rose. Karen

In my garden Malvern Hills has had excellent disease resistance, it has been perfectly healthy. Its not a sparse bloomer with me, its quite the opposite rarly without and blooms. Its one of the best roses in my garden, so much so that I now have several Malvern Hills in my garden in different locations.

I'm hoping Viru or his wife might comment for me on how this rose's growth might be similar or different from Golden Threshold. I planted that one in completely the wrong place for how upright, thick and stiff the canes are. I was thinking I could train it along a fence, but you can't even bend the canes when they are young. I'm wonding if Manipur Magic might make a good huge free standing shrub or if it can in fact to tamed onto a fence. The photos look gorgeous and I'm totally happy with its half siter Golden Threshold, I just need to get that one moved somehow to a location where it can just go crazy and be what ever shape it wants to be without any intervention from myself.

Under our conditions Manipur Magic has quite a different growth habit from Golden Threshold. This is not surprising as M.M. is probably a diploid, unlike G.T. which is perhaps a tetraploid. I am sure you know that that the parentages are fairly different, excepting for the connection with R.gigantea. Golden Threshold is (Golden Showers x Sirohi Sunrise) and Sirohi Sunrise is Brown Velvet x (Carmosine x R.gigantea), whereas Manipur Magic is Reve d'Or x R.gigantea.
Manipur Magic should be suitable for training on a fence and the stems are definitely more flexible than Golden Threshold. It can be grown as a huge scrambling shrub. Personally i would prefer to train it on a fence as it will be easier to selectively retain the one year + stems, which form the basis for abundant flowering.

I actually sent a check for this rose a week ago and will plant it near its mother Reve d'Or.

I have seen a mature plant of Sunshine Sally and it's gorgeous. A large mounding shrub that's easily a climber, smoothered like Renae with flowers similar to hybrid teas.
God, how I want this for my garden.

Nor'east Miniature roses seems to have come across the right to sell all of Ralph Moores roses he carried the last year his nursery was in business and they have Sunshine Sally available for spring. I had ordered this rose from Ralph a few years ago, but they substituted Polly Sunshine instead, so I do not have it either and would like to.
