<<Well, you got an answer from me, reporting comments  on  rebloomers heard

a variety of sources, both within AIS  and  without over the years, with an

rose.  >>
 
Anner, it wasn't intended as a trick question, but as a reminder!   Tastes 
vary!   It's something to be remembered by those breeding  rebloomers.  And yes, 
I've ask the question before in other forms.   Some things bear repeating.  
 
Rebloomers are still relatively unknown in the general gardening  public. 
Hearing this still surprises me, although I should be used to the  idea by now.   
Many of these people, upon learning of rebloomers, ask  why people would not 
want a garden full of rebloomers!  I suspect these are  iris lovers, rather 
than general gardeners.  I was just passing the  question along!  By this time, 
they often know I breed rebloomers so  the remark must be viewed as biased.  


As for my line of interest?  I'm quite obsessed!  This list is a  research 
source for me.  I'm sure there are people that are sick of  hearing/reading my 
talk about rebloomers!  As I'm bored with other  topics.  However, I'm known 
for my passion and make no pretense  otherwise.   I do not apologize!  
 
Surely, people learned to delete my posts years ago?   <vbg>  
 
I think we all had great respect for Ms. Figge's thoughts and  feelings!   
This was heartwarming and so good to see!  So rare  these days!  
 
Thanks for presenting the non-rebloom view.
