First, I want to mention that the AOS is not a taxonomic authority and you wouldn’t register a hybrid with them. That said, you’d have an uphill battle convincing the RHS the Chairman is a hybrid. While the provenance of that plant is likely not ‘pure’ determining the exact configuration of introgression is very, very tough.
