Randy,

Congratulations on this cross.  I have never set seed on RF and she 
has never had any pollen for me.  Feedback is a great rebloomer, 
sometimes an everbloomer when the weather cooperates.  Let's hope you 
get an everblooming RF type that looks like one of the grandparents 
TITAN'S GLORY.   Feedback has refused to give me anything worth 
keeping even with SILVERADO.  I finally got rid of three S x F 
seedlings after growing them about eight years and never seeing any 
rebloom whatsoever on any of them.  They had respectable form but 
just an ordinary reddish violet color.
