Thanks, guys!

 

I planted 19 from this cross in spring 08.  The 4 I got to see bloom last

spring caused me to transplant all of them to virgin soil.  None of the 4 had much

in the way of branching and bud count, but I expect that on maiden bloom. Lost

the other pictures of them when my old computer died.  Before I lost them, I posted

a sibling of this one, that has metallic gold edge, on 7-29-09. 

 

Prince George has essentially no branching the way it grows here.  Designer Gown

has 2 branches, too high.  Have never seen either growing anywhere else, so have

no particular reason to expect better of the babies. 

 

I have a number of RE seedlings with plenty of buds and branches.  Intensely

frustrated at not getting pollen from this seedling last spring to use on them. I

would be really surprised if anything from this cross reblooms here. 

 

I also have seedlings out there of PG and DG crossed with parents of the RE seedling

I posted 10-14-08, which has a slight metallic gold edge.  Looking forward to seeing

them too.
