'Knock Out'® Grandchild
The seedling shown below is also a new 2015 seedling and is of a similar coloring as the rose mentioned in the last post. Looking closely at the photo, you may notice that it even has a few speckles. Unlike the seedling mentioned in the previous post, this seedling has quite a lot of thorns. However, I am probably more excited about this seedling as compared to the last, because it has the 'Knock Out'® rose as one of it's grandparents. 'Knock Out'® confers excellent blackspot resistance to many of it's seedlings. Though this seedling is two generations away from 'Knock Out'®, I am hopeful that some of the improved disease resistance will remain. I think this seedling would be a great choice to cross with the "Speckled Hulthemia" in the last post. What do you think?!
