Re: Blooms - Apple growth

Dear Pat, 

I looked (internet/GardenWeb/ARE site) and couldn't find the
information I was referring to, but found information on (r.villosa)
the Apple Rose.  This rose started in 1761, is a single, clear pink,
lightly scented rose. The once blooming bush is dense, prone to
sucker, and growns 4-6 feet high.  The hips are large, orange,
(thought one source calls them dark red and 1 inch across) and apple
shaped, that are covered with bristles.  A friend of mine (cultivates
Rhodies) had once told me that apples, roses, and Rhodies (as well as
strawberries, I believe) are related and it has something to do with
their "star-like" centers that protect the seeds. 

Does anyone on the list know more about this ?

HiCarleen,

Thank you for your message, I had another person say they thought it
was
Wasp Gall,  So we cut off the branch and Ken cut it open.  He thought
it was
a hatchery for some bug or other and burnt it so it woouldn't spread.

If we had been thinking a llittle faster we should have taken it to
the
Department of Agriculture and found out what it was.  If another
turns up,
that is what I will do.

It was bigger than a Persimon (about a small apple size and Granny
Newton
color.).

If you find that reference, I'd like to read it.

Pat
