Excelsa is a climbing rose listed by Daniels Nursery in 1950. The catalog says it resembles Dorothy Perkins in growth and flowering, but has deep red blooms [S1]. A figure on the same page is labeled “EXCELSA,” making the cultivar prominent in the nursery listing [S1].
The source gives only a short catalog description. It does not state Excelsa’s breeder, parentage, release date, origin, or detailed flower form [S1]. Its main comparison is to Dorothy Perkins, suggesting a similar climbing habit and flowering style, with bloom color as the key difference [S1].
Daniels grouped Excelsa with roses sold for northern landscape planting. The page says the roses shown were grown for the rugged climate of the Northwest, including Minnesota and the Dakotas. It also says all roses on the page need winter protection [S1]. This supports regional nursery use, not fully unprotected hardiness [S1].
The page is a nursery sales source, not a botanical or breeding account. It gives no edible-fruit relevance for Pomologica beyond its place in northern nursery history and cold-climate ornamental plant catalogs [S1].
