I decided on doing the cross last summer when I noticed the buds of William Baffin are not exactly smooth but vaguely hinting of most at least to me. Plus I like the disease resistance of both. Your cross and my cross sound like a winner to me. The top picture is very nice with the moss. A unusual view. So I do not know what crosses you are planning but I do like the idea of crossing it with Incantation, Rose Gilardi or a spinosissima. I think the first two cross could concentrate the genes that make for resistance. Plus the second one could also improve the number of moss genes. The last cross I propose I just was thinking back to your William III cross. But those are just my ideas I am sure you already have something better in mind. I will look forward to the future to see what direction you take with it. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
