I've decided to focus?on my red and black lines again this
spring.? As most of us know, the red and black lines are rather difficult.?
Add in cold region?rebloom, and the quest becomes even more
elusive.??
After a lot of research, I added Regimen & Wearing
Rubies to my list of hopefuls.? Maybe some others.?Will everything bloom?THIS
spring???Probably not.? <grin>?
I'll also use Tara's
Choice,?which came from one of my attempts to develop red rebloom.? When
paired with a Ghio red, which I think to be Regimen, TC gave many seedlings
with varying degrees of rebloom.?
Somehow, I've managed to mix the
reds and blacks at times.? Blackout on my red seedling gave very smooth hafts
and great branching.? This spring we will see what it does when mixed with
Star Gate.?
What would you (anyone or everyone) use to create a strong
(zones 5 & 6) rebloomer in red???or black?
In my opinion, we all
benefit by pooling our knowledge.? Most of us have different interests within
the genre, and it's rare that we make the same cross.? Even if we did, we all
have such different selection processes that it's doubtful we'd introduce
anything similar.?
Chuck, Robin and others, please feel free to tell
me why this won't work!? Or which path I should take, if you choose.?
If taken in total context of rebloom for everyone, we are way behind
Ben Hager's time line!
Betty Wilkerson . . . hope no one catches my
new sore throat!? I tried not to cough while I was typing this!?
<smile>? My least favorite holiday gift from the girls!?
