Linda,
Don't blame just the modern cultivars for bring susceptible to rot. The
recent thaw here has created ideal conditions for the proliferation of
botrytis rot. And who do I find are worst affected? NEGLECTA (1813), WABASH
(1936), and KALEIDOSCOPE BROWN'S MUTANT ( 1967), a mutant of Kaleidoscope
(1930), a mutant of Honorabile (1840).
