E. G. Hill is listed by Daniels Nursery as a rose cultivar, not as an edible fruit cultivar. The 1950 Daniels planting guide places it on a catalog page for roses sold for northern landscapes in the Northwest, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. The entry describes its flowers, not fruit or origin. It has “great, massive blooms of deep velvety-maroon” and is “vigorous and free flowering.” [S1]
The source does not give parentage, breeder, release date, or species taxonomy for E. G. Hill. It appears in Daniels Nursery’s rose offerings, in a section that includes Hybrid Tea, Perpetual, Floribunda, and Climbing roses. The packet does not say which group E. G. Hill belongs to. [S1]
The main horticultural details are ornamental. Daniels presents E. G. Hill as a large, dark maroon rose with vigorous growth and repeated or abundant flowering. No fruit description, edible use, ripening season, storage behavior, or culinary value is reported. [S1]
For hardiness, the guide says the roses on this page were grown for the rugged climate of the Northwest. It also says all roses shown require winter protection. This supports sale into a cold climate nursery trade, not independent zone 3 fruit hardiness. [S1]
Pomologica should treat E. G. Hill as an ornamental rose record unless later sources document edible hips or another fruiting use. Current evidence does not support it as a fruit cultivar. [S1]
