Probably no statistical difference. The tallest Rosalie scape I
didn't photograph - classic case of the weirdness caused by stray
glyphosate. The whole affair is due to sloppy record keeping during
dividing and musical chairs. I now think I have moved my "Phantom"
elsewhere and the mystery rebloomer was it's neighbor. Future ID
help pending! :) Even so the rebloom was a surprise. It had never
rebloomed and, not mentioned before, my Rosalie has never bloomed in
spring. Now that they might be in sync and well nested in it will be
interesting to see what happens. (Rats, I had planned to vacant
their spots.) Two clumps over in a few years course does not make
for conclusions.
I now have masters beds laid out on grid. Accession numbers, 2-3
labels and mapping on everything coming in. ANY changes get
rigorously recorded. Lord I hope this helps. Lost labels are
irritating. I can only imagine what you hybridizers face with your
multitude of seedlings where the stakes are much higher.

I've been trying to straighten out a
label mixup between Titan's Glory,
Phantom Masquerade and Ghost Train. Web
photos of all vary even among a
cultivar, so not definitive. I had one
clump slanting towards PM because
of having the tallest stalks. None are
listed as rebloomers though TG is
a carrier. So for 5 yrs no rebloom - then
this Sept the"PM" is
reblooming quite nicely as photo
"lostlabel5105" shows. To perplex me
more: The first bloom opened on the same
day as my consistent reblooming
Rosalie Figge. Previously RF has always
rebloomed in mid to late Oct.
(I'm Z6b btw.) The blooms placed side by
side are virtually identical
color and pattern wise, even undersides.
The "PM" has stalks a few
inches taller and maybe a tad sweeter
smell. Bloom carriage is different
as photo "RosalieFigge5096sm" shows. Are
odds more that "PM" was
acquired mislabeled and is none of the
above? My photos might be biased
towards blue.
