These crosses strongly suggest that Renown is a Direct (summer) rebloomer. So recessive rebloom genes. It will take many more then 12 seedlings from a cross to pull out needed rebloom genes recombination, which seems to be several recessive genes.

RENOWN crosses - I usually keep planting till there are about a dozen
survivors (if I can), more if the early ones look promising

RENOWN X STUNNING SERENADE - no rebloom, moderate growth
DOCTOR ALAN X RENOWN - no rebloom, strong, leaf spot
(cycle IMM x CSONG) X R - no, strong
(no rebloom IMM X CSONG) X R - no, strong
R X TREASURED (? I don't think these survived, poor germ?)
weak cycle (IMM x AMITY ESTATE) X R - no, strong (from the 5 day old pod)
R X (MATRIX x CSONG) - no, strong
R X STUNNING - no (ick!), weak, leaf spot horrid dead
AUTUMN RIESLING X R - no, strong (huge leaf blades)

Made experimental cross of IMM X RENOWN this year just to evaluate
interaction of rebloom genes.  Seeds looked iffy, I don't think any are
up yet.

Plus quite a few more R crosses 2010 & 11, too young to know.  RENOWN X
(HoM x TREASURED) should maiden bloom spring 2012. Mostly used for form
(size, width, plus carrying copies of RE genes), some with HoM
seedlings, since it seemed to be able to make rebloom babies with HoM.
