'BUCbi' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Griffith J. Buck
... characterized by its tolerance to cold winter temperatures, its continuous and profuse vase-life production of very large, delicate pink flowers throughout the growing season, and its adaptability for use as a low shrub or as a mass effect, low-maintenance bedding plant... originated as a seedling resulting from breeding efforts carried on by me since 1949 at Iowa State University with the object of producing winter-cold resistant everblooming garden roses suitable for use either as bedding plants or small shrubs, the new plant resulting from a cross of an unnamed seedling derived from "Applejack" (unpatented); "Dean Collins", P.P. 1279; "Queen Elizabeth", P.P. 1259; "Independence", P.P. 1036; and "Improved Lafayette" (unpatented) as the seed parent, and "Prairie Princess" (unpatented) as the pollen parent... the new plant was discovered in 1969

Ploidy:

Tetraploid

Parentage:

seed:	Applejack (shrub, Buck, 1962/73) × {[ Dean Collins × Queen Elizabeth (Hybrid Tea, Lammerts before 1951)] × [ Independence × Improved Lafayette]}
pollen:	Prairie Princess

Notes:

In September 1998, the Montreal Botanical Garden (Le Jardin Botanique de Montreal) carried out a survey of its roses' resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This is one of the outstanding varieties which showed a 0% to 5% infection rate. The data were taken on well-established roses.

From email: This rose is also known by the misnomer 'Katy Road Pink' (a "found" rose).
For clarification of SEED PARENT, see info under Patent.

One of the Roses that "passed the test" in Longwood Garden's Ten-Year Rose Trials.
