Rosa 'Alissar, Princess of Phoenicia'

Lovely! I think I've seen this on a website. It's quite different isn't it. Lovely.

Ooooooh ... going to google it:-)

That is a pretty rose.....

As soon as I saw this, I thought to myself 'I wonder is rosa persica is a parent'? After doing a Google search, the answer is 'yes'.
Rosa persica (now renamed hulkinia persica) has a red blotch in the centre, and breeders have been trying to introduce this feature for several years. It looks as if they have finally succeeded. I look forward to hearing how this rose performs spritz, as R. persica is shy to flower in the UK (our summers are not hot enough for it).

We shall watch this space...'
