I say that I need to stop buying roses, so Mother Nature gifts me a new seedling.

I think it’s another Francis Dubreuil/Barcelona seed, the stick in the pot is actually the stem of the hip. Which I must have nipped off and dropped in the pot.

Hopefully it does as well as my other foundling, which is thriving. .

Adam, you really amazed me with babies growing from cracks of concrete to hips with stems. I can't even grow a cutting. ..haha . You are blessed with nature surprising you with gifts :)

It’s a chance seedling of Barcelona.

I’m calling it ‘Fire and Blood’ in honour of the rightful rulers of Westeros

Does it re-bloom, do you know yet? I think it is hilarious that when I or someone on here tries to root roses using various complicated techniques, it frequently fails, and then you can discard a clipped off hip which accidentally falls into a pot, and it roots!

Yes it reblooms. It flowered for the first time when it was only a few months old, and hasn’t really stopped. Just spot- flowered sporadically.

I’m not sure if it is a self cross or was pollinated by another of my roses. Anyone could be the “father”. I did suspect Sophies Perpetual for a while.

When first found in a potted lily on 7 Nov 2017.

First little bloom on 13 Jan 2018

Better bloom on 10 Feb 2018
