AAC Sylvia-Arlene is a semi-domesticated rose variety demonstrating quality and yield to meet the criteria for economic production. AAC Sylvia-Arlene was evaluated in Charlottetown between 2005 and 2012, and was found to be adapted in field and different agronomic practices. In comparison to the control lines S36, S68, S140, and S142, the line S26 was characterized as a natural interspecific hybrid of Rosa carolina×Rosa virginiana and was denominated as ‘AAC Sylvia-Arlene’ whereas S36 and S68 are Rosa virginiana species.

The flowers of AAC Sylvia-Arlene are light-pink, whereas those of S36, S140 and S142 are medium-pink. The fruits of AAC Sylvia-Arlene are longer and wider than those of the reference varieties.
