Rose 'Survivor' 23W25 Rose N3- (Corn Hill Nursery,,1975) Explorer Rose, Mature plant size: 4x5ft., Semi-double deep red flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 6, In Garden Bed N3 for 17.2 YEARS (GLR). Planted in 2006.
HelpMeFind: When 'Survivor' was introduced by Robert Osborne's Corn Hill Nursery, it was said to be a seedling which had been bred by Felicitas Svejda but not introduced by the Explorer program. The parentage was reported to be 'Old Blush' x 'Fru Dagmar Hastrup'. Dr. Svejda says that 'Survivor' is not one of her roses.
'Survivor' was given that name by Robert Osborne because it survived extreme winter conditions when many other roses were killed back.
Morden #71659501 (RSM I2) has 'Adelaide Hoodless' (RSM 65) as seed parent and an unnamed seedling (RSM 95, also known as RSM 6118) as pollen parent. RSM 6118 is probably from the cross Crimson Glory X (Donald Prior X R. arkansana).
There are many points of similarity between #71659501 (RSM I2) and 'Survivor' (which Osborne received under the code #75659-5015) because the two are siblings bred in different years. The plant labeled as 'Survivor' at Morden has flowers of a slightly lighter color than RSM I2.Semi-double deep red flowers with a very long blooming season.
Developed in Ottawa . Should be cut back every spring to keep the shub under control. Hardy and disease resistant. 1975. Spreads.

Perennials.com: An old Cottage-garden favourite, this cousin to the Hollyhock has similar satiny flowers in a soft lavender-purple shade, exotically striped with deep maroon veins. It forms an upright, bushy mound that may need to be staked if grown in rich soil. This is a short-lived perennial or biennial, often flowering itself to death in the first year, but coming back the next year from self-sown seedlings. Excellent in containers, or the sunny border. In cold regions this is well worth growing, because of the long blooming season. Flowers are attractive to butterflies. Also known as Striped Mallow.
Soft pink flowers with raspberry-purple veins, achieving a pinwheel effect. Short lived perennial, self seeds. Self seeding in V2, no sign in K5

Genus Alcea has ~60 species of flowering plants in the mallow family Malvaceae. Most species are native to southwest and central Asia, a few are native to Egypt. A biennial or short-lived perennial.

Rose 'Survivor' 23W25 Rose N3- (Corn Hill Nursery,,1975) Explorer Rose, Mature plant size: 4x5ft., Semi-double deep red flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 6, In Garden Bed N3 for 17.2 YEARS (GLR). Planted in 2006.
HelpMeFind: When 'Survivor' was introduced by Robert Osborne's Corn Hill Nursery, it was said to be a seedling which had been bred by Felicitas Svejda but not introduced by the Explorer program. The parentage was reported to be 'Old Blush' x 'Fru Dagmar Hastrup'. Dr. Svejda says that 'Survivor' is not one of her roses.
'Survivor' was given that name by Robert Osborne because it survived extreme winter conditions when many other roses were killed back.
Morden #71659501 (RSM I2) has 'Adelaide Hoodless' (RSM 65) as seed parent and an unnamed seedling (RSM 95, also known as RSM 6118) as pollen parent. RSM 6118 is probably from the cross Crimson Glory X (Donald Prior X R. arkansana).
There are many points of similarity between #71659501 (RSM I2) and 'Survivor' (which Osborne received under the code #75659-5015) because the two are siblings bred in different years. The plant labeled as 'Survivor' at Morden has flowers of a slightly lighter color than RSM I2.Semi-double deep red flowers with a very long blooming season.
Developed in Ottawa . Should be cut back every spring to keep the shub under control. Hardy and disease resistant. 1975. Spreads.

The stalks have a triple socketed terminal and three branches all rising far above the foliage. The purple falls with a darker purple rim roll and twist to give a ruffled effect. Flowers are also large for a pseudata, averaging about 6½". The name means “Purple Dragon’s Valley”. HM2011 $10.00

Perennials.com: An old Cottage-garden favourite, this cousin to the Hollyhock has similar satiny flowers in a soft lavender-purple shade, exotically striped with deep maroon veins. It forms an upright, bushy mound that may need to be staked if grown in rich soil. This is a short-lived perennial or biennial, often flowering itself to death in the first year, but coming back the next year from self-sown seedlings. Excellent in containers, or the sunny border. In cold regions this is well worth growing, because of the long blooming season. Flowers are attractive to butterflies. Also known as Striped Mallow.
Soft pink flowers with raspberry-purple veins, achieving a pinwheel effect. Short lived perennial, self seeds. Self seeding in V2, no sign in K5
