Hmm, a good reblooming pink...I don't think it exists.
The best pink rebloomer I've grown has been Precious Little Pink and it's an
IB. It's form can be improved (Sandy hates it) but it has vigor and
reblooms like crazy once it starts going again in late July.
The best pink in my garden now is Happenstance. But this was its first
year. We'll have to see how it does in the next couple. And it doesn't
rebloom.
I never did get around to setting pollen on Coral Beauty -- it was the best
pink growing in our garden a few years back. It is triple socketed in the
terminal.

Was really interested to see what Francelle is trying with producing new &
better pink TBs. Seems like nearly all are either short on vigor, bud
count, fertility, color intensity, or just plain short. I ordered 26 pinks
this year and, though the horse has kinda left the barn, would like to hear
more about what pinks are good. Which are pod/pollen fertile. Also, who's
trying which crosses this year and why.
All I really want is a good, tall, reblooming, intense pink with substance
and bubble ruffling, maybe a little lace, great bud count and branching,
moderate increase, terrific vigor, and oh yes, fertile both ways. Anybody
ever seen one?
