I suspect many of the cultivated specimens of "R. foliolosa" are in fact hybrids. As others have pointed out, the true species is pale pink or (more often) white.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153593289512217730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388607555310531935.post-79400113352527338952010-03-11T15:15:51.735-08:002010-03-11T15:15:51.735-08:00Paul, I am very intrigued by this plant.

Its pollen that has to be taken very soon is abundant and working with an appropriate mate.<br /><br />BP darker color is achieved combining rugosa and foliolosa. I stated years ago that I got many BP colored plants from foliolosa x rugosa simple or double. Wild foliolosa apparently never show these darker shades. These shades are closely linked to red stems and redish foliage with a shorter life that makes the plant look leggy.<br />Along this line eight years later I am still trying for darker seedlings with better foliage. Some progress is made.<br /><br />Hope you find a better path Paul.pierre ruttennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388607555310531935.post-4773425952113600232009-06-19T15:00:32.073-07:002009-06-19T15:00:32.073-07:00Paul,

I have thought about using Little Chief. I don't know how it would do in zone 5 beside the fact that I don't think I could get it anywhere anymore. I do like its parentage though.Mike Fittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420251834565186015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388607555310531935.post-39582156987210192112009-06-19T09:34:40.351-07:002009-06-19T09:34:40.351-07:00Annaka,

Basically, I have ignored it for years until this Spring, collecting only some open pollinated seeds from 2008. I won't know until next year if it has any ability as a breeder.<br /><br />'Basye's Purple' doesn't form seed, in my experience, and I believe it has limited fertility as a pollen parent. I seem to recall that some friends have tried working with it and they reported that the seedlings they got were stunted and very unhealthy. I could be wrong, but that's my recollection.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153593289512217730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388607555310531935.post-31145271982383049212009-06-19T09:13:43.219-07:002009-06-19T09:13:43.219-07:00Very interesting!

I have wondered how BP would perform as a parent, and based on a passing comment in a previous post it sounded like it was a bit of a problem.Annakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352221890907937357noreply@blogger.com
