My "Harlow Carr" has very little fragrance - at least to my nose. I know I can't smell the "Tea" fragrance very well - is that what HC has?

I remember reading somewhere that "Dortmund" self-seeds very easily, but that most of the seedlings resemble the mother plant. This certainly was the case for me - The "Dortmund" I grew long ago has died, but I found a seedling next to it, which I gave to a friend. (NO, it was NOT a sucker.)

At least a decade later, that seedling is growing over her rose arbor and is HUGE. I don't see any difference between what I call "Dortmund's Daughter" and her mom. I'lll have to check it more closely!

Was Ralph Moore's 'Shadow Dancer' a planned cross or might it have been a chance seedling?

Good question!

HMF does list a number of roses that Mr. Moore "discovered" - perhaps some were seedlings.

During his long life, in addition to all his lovely minuature roses, Mr. Moore always seemed to be interested in crossing unusual varieties with each other.

Now I need to get "Shadow Dancer!" It's fragrant - and neither Dortmund nor my seedling are.

The rose we've been given of 'Shadow Dancer' also has large round orange hips, which I don't see mentioned anywhere.

This would make sense to me, as its parents are "Dortmund" and a seedling of "Dortmund."

Mon père était musicien et a insisté pour que sa première fille s'appelle Cécilia. Je suis musicien aussi.
My father was a musician and insisted on naming his first daughter Cecilia. I am a musician, too.
