Initial post 22 MAY 21 by Sequoia
Today, I saw a child of 'White Wings', 'Flamingo', in full bloom in the garden at Joy Creek Nursery near Portland, Oregon. The sepals were noticeably long, reminding me of 'Spray Cécile Brunner', but also somewhat squared at the tips, as if tailored. The sepal length suggests that 'White Wings' may particularly be descended from 'Spray Cécile Brunner'.

I found your comment most interesting and went searching through the Krebs roses. He bred some really good ones and your theory is quite likely and the dates make it feasible. . Many thanks for the morning stimulation Sequoia - you have a good eye.
