Yet another seedling from this group. Larger foliage than some of the others, and the bloom was close to 2.5". Long arching canes to 5 feet so far, undoubtedly will get bigger. No pollen that I could find, and did not set seed. I doubt I will try to use it in breeding, as I dislike the muddled bloom form with the misshapen petaloids at the center.

Very cool colours though... Next season, if my FDY cooperates, I plan to put it on 'Abraham Darby'. Do the colours change as it ages? Maybe I missed it somewhere... but does it show any tendency to remontancy?
ReplyDeleteThis seedling paled considerably before dropping, and none of this group has shown any inclination to start repeating, no. :-(
