From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hybrid cultivar 'Rosehill' was originally raised by the Rose Hill Nurseries of Kansas City, Missouri, from a selection of Ulmus pumila × Ulmus rubra seedlings made in 1951. It was described as slightly slower growing than its sibling 'Willis', but carrying a heavier crown, with good branching and attractive foliage. The tree was later marketed by the Willis Nursery Co. of Ottawa, Kansas [1]. It is not known whether 'Rosehill' remains in cultivation, or if it was introduced to Europe or Australasia.
