A very sweet looking little rose! Hope it keeps growing well and healthily for you. Has it grown much since then?

Thank you! She continues to bloom at the expense of building up much foliage, still only 6-8” tall. I just moved her outdoors last week, and I probably should nip off the buds, but I can’t bring myself to do it.

That's a lovely photo of her too. Shows a lot of promise I think. Love the shade of pink, and with that shape of bud its off to a great start! No, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to de-bud her either.
I've just seen that you are fairly new to this rose breeding lark - welcome to the club! I too dabble as an amateur (for about 7 years now), in my case with grand dreams of all the new varieties of Old Roses that I want to bring about. I don't profess to be anything like an expert, but if there is anything I can help with anytime, feel free to ask.
Good luck, and have lots of fun with your rose offspring!! - there is something special about it, and that's for sure.

I read your public journal, and there are some great OGR crosses there. You should register as a breeder and post some photos!

Thank you, you're too kind! Well I hope to add some in due course, but as yet I haven't any that have matured to a level that I would be happy to include, as I was waiting for the finished article so to speak - I even have one or two stubborn ones that are 3 or 4 years old and still haven't flowered yet!! But I do have a few that are coming on nicely, including some Bourbon style roses that seem to be doing very well from last year, so fingers crossed.

Do you have any particular aims with your breeding, or do you just go with whatever takes your fancy?
