Neil responds:

This is a thread I would also find useful.  Here's a few I would 
add as good candidates:

Maid of Avalon--both bod and pollen (expected, as the parentage is 
Silverado X Mother Earth).  I would expect the same from the newly 
introduced sib Avalon Dreamer.

Shoptalk--pod.
Fogbound--both pod and pollen
Happenstance and Vienna Waltz--both pod and pollen

Some I've had little or no sucess with:

Wishful Thinking--I know it's fertile.  I just don't get sets.
Vanda Song--ditto.  Barry Blyth has some very good things from it.  I 
can't get it to set a pod.
Skywalker--after many tries that failed to set pod (no pollen at 
all), I did get one pod--when I wetted a finger with saliva and 
moistened the stigmatic lip on a fresh flower.  That may or may not 
have been a factor, but I DID get a pod.  You will note few 
registrations with it as parent, however.
