Miniature Roses

Anyone have Persian Princess?

20 years ago

I want to get a rose next year named after our new dachshund. Her name will be Scheherazade (we pick her up from the shelter on Monday, and my other dog is named Nietzsche so it isn't such an odd name, considering). I was looking through helpmefind and found Persian Princess. Hortico has it listed, but no one has any pictures. Does anyone have this rose? How big should I expect it to get? What color is it (pics)?

Here is a link that might be useful: Persian Princess at hmf

Yes, I grow 'Persian Princess' and its a fine rose. Waterlily-shaped 1.25 inch blooms in fiery orange-red in big clusters. In bloom constantly and often covered in bloom. A bit upright, to about 20". An excellent rose. You can likely get it at Sequoia Nursery, where it was bred and introduced.

I took a photo for you this evening and loaded it to the HelpMeFind page for the rose.

Wow, thanks Paul. That's a beautiful picture. I looked for it on the Sequoia webpage but it wasn't listed. Oh, just found it on their paper list. That's a great excuse to get a few of the other Moore minis that I was looking at. Now that I know what it looks like I can find the perfect spot for it.
