<<Frost has not hit yet, Concoction is having another go.
The  shape is not fabulous, but it's proving to be the best rebloomer here!
Will  definitely use it next spring.
Have you ever had any results with  it?
Maybe Betty has, hope she reads this, hello  Betty!>>
 
 
Loic, I'm here!  I read all of your reports.  I'm amazed at your  collection. 
 I've not grown Concoction.  Not even sure I'd read about  it before, but am 
quite familiar with JUICY FRUIT the parent.  
 
<<I agree with her about the ones we loose.
The losses  are not overall the beds, they are specific to some crosses, so 
we're better  off without them anyway.>>


 
Some people have written that they dig out the weak seedlings and replant  
them in different soil to see if they will do better.  I say, "Let the weak  
things die!"  Especially when I have a hundred or more (Or even a dozen!)  from 
that cross that want to live and prosper.   So what if I save it  and it's 
gorgeous but won't grow?  What a fancy tale this would make!   <vbg>
