Breeder's notes:
This rose was created in an effort to introduce strong coloring into Ralph Moore's 'Muriel' bracteata breeding line. It was also hoped that by using a miniature as the seed parent that plant habit would be reduced to a manageable size. The bracteatas tend to be large rampant climbers, which is not always desirable.
33-03-03 was tested by David Zlesak and determined to be a Tetraploid. It is used as breeding stock only.
