Wiki Draft

Daniels Nursery lists Dr Van Fleet as a rose cultivar in a 1950 northern planting guide, on a page of roses offered for the Northwest, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. The catalog describes it for ornamental flowers, not edible fruit, within the broader Rosa section. [S1]

The description is brief: Dr Van Fleet has enormous light pink flowers on long stems, blooms freely, and is very fragrant. [S1]

The page does not give parentage, breeder, release date, disease resistance, fruit use, or a botanical treatment. It says the roses on the page were field grown, two-year-old nursery stock, sold for northern conditions but still requiring winter protection. [S1]

Hardiness should be treated cautiously. Daniels Nursery marketed these roses for rugged Northwest conditions, including Minnesota and the Dakotas, but the page also says they require winter protection. [S1]
