Re: HYB: REB: orange

Then there's AUTUMN ORANGELITE (G.P. Brown 1961), which is yellow, but
has tangerine beards, and is an ever/summer/early fall-ish bloomer.
It's an IB here, not sure what parents FALL FAIRY & SALLY ANN are - will
have to go dig out the books - they predate the online stuff.

It shows up in pedigrees of LADY EMMA (registered as an MTB) and 3 more
G.P. Brown rebloomers (short TBs), none of which show up in later online
pedigrees (& seems unlikely to be in more recent intros).  No oranges.

Like several other G.P.B. rebloomers, it is a very healthy grower here,
freely reblooming (if it gets enough rain, out in the gravel rows).

Might be worth playing around with -  with its strong rebloom, it might
nick well with modern formed, less healthy, sparsely reblooming recent
stuff.

I can't get the marginal stuff to grow, bloom, or set seed here, but if
I get a chance, I will certainly try to cross it with GAME PLAN (which
with those NIGHT GAME genes may do well here - keeping my fingers
crossed).
