Patents: United States - Patent No: PP 11,690 on 12 Dec 2000 VIEW USPTO PATENT Parentage: Pink Polyanna ™ × Rainbow's End ™ Notes: There's a color photograph of this rose in the November 1998 issue of the American Rose Society's American Rose magazine (p. 25). [From A Year of Roses, by Stephen Scanniello, pp. 146-147:] Tree roses, also called standard roses, are often displayed to their best advantage when planted in containers... Tree roses come in heights anywhere from two feet high (most common with miniature roses) to over six feet. There are two forms of standard roses available. One if the common form of a long stem supporting a bushy display of roses, sort of like a large lollipop. The other is a weeping standard, the only style I think worth using.
