This is good practice - we mark all registered rebloomers in our catalogue,
but state something like:
"registered rebloomer, but not very reliable here"
or
"registered rebloomer, reblooms nearly every year"
along with a codicil:
"Rebloom - not all varieties posess this quality, and not all rebloomers
rebloom in every year"
.so far, no complaints. We encourage our customers to treat rebloom as a
bonus.
Clarence goes on to say..
<<There are not a lot of people selling a wide variety of Siberians, which
are in the east the best of irises for landscaping. >>
and in the UK.
He then says...
<<There are not a lot of people selling MTBs or historic irises (demand is
incredible for historics!).>>
I can endorse this last remark - we sell three historic plants for every one
recent variety plant.
