You must be so proud, your stripped roses are amazing!!! Love the red and pink stripes especially the one with white one the underside of the petals. I am curious about your I.D. photo is that also one of your roses? Ive never seen a variety even remotely similar.
Thank you for your compliments Rebekah. I am slowly getting to where I want to be on the stripes. The only thing I need to get is disease resistance. The striping is interesting because the underside stripe pattern is different than the top side. Sometimes the top stripes will be pink and the underside will be white. Its always different.
The ID photo is simsalabim. It was a sport that Reimer Kordes produced in germany. You can see more of it here. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.224516 There is also a rose called abracadabra which is the reverse of simsalabim. Predominantly dark burdundy with yellow stripes. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.196841 The origin of these roses came from a rose called "frisco" bread by Kordes in germany. The "frisco" rose which is a solid yellow one day sported to a solid dark burgundy color called "black beauty". You can see it here. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.152405 "Black beauty" sported to a combination of the yellow and dark color in stripes and produced "hocus pocus". http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.168342 Then there was abracadabra which is basically hocus pocus but it is a little bigger. I have never heard where simsalabim came from but when you grow it, it will have sports that are solid yellow like frisco and will have sports of the solid dark color" black beauty" so it is pretty safe to say that simsalabim is a sport of this kordes line. There is a guy out there that claims he breed a rose that sports to all the different colors that I spoke of and is identical in every way but his came out year after the kordes roses and is simply a rip off of kordes' roses. Kordes is the true origin of these amazing roses.
