Reference ID #C9: This plant grew well in it's 5-gal pot with minimal assistance or attention. It also had sufficient floral or foliage interest to require additional study. It was given a study name and planted out in the fall of 2019. Additional details and photos will be added during the 2020 growing season. All seedlings from 2018 were from hips collected from my garden without respected to variety. While all crosses were explicit - mixed pollen was used. In effect, these crosses are unknown X unknown


May 23, 2020: This plant has many strong qualities. A tendency to spot in consistently wet weather is not one of them. Certainly will be retained into next year. Suffered from an early spider mite infestation. Cut back dramatically in response. Plant is currently in recovery. Mite addressed with high-pressure water (did not help with black sport). Been a month now and the approach seems to have been effective.

"Bowie" is a study name for this seedling. All seedlings from the 2018 breeding season are given a study name based on a Texas town/city starting with the letter 'B'.
