Magnafrano (HT) [Safrano x Magna Charta]

A Rose Odyssey (1937) J. H. Nicolas
Some of us old timers may remember an early Van Fleet Hybrid Tea, Magnafrano (1900). For years it was sold on its own roots and it remained a typical Hybrid Tea. I budded it on Multiflora for breeding purposes and I got plants of Druschki exuberance, thus emphasizing its seed parent, Magna Charta. It is from one of these plants that I bred the [once blooming] climber Virginia.
