Re: RE: Re: HYB:Pink:out crosses

Betty,
     Have you thought about using the wonderful pink rebloomer October Splendor.  It is a BB but has good size and would probably produce TB babies if crossed TB.  It reblooms reliably here, with out fail, and is the only pink I can count on to perform.  The form, branching and bud count are good, in fact, the only problem I have with it is that it is a reluctant parent.  It will cross, just not as easily as some.

Dana

Best  bet is pink x pink and select from there, or study up on genetics and 
use the  check lists to get parentage.


Chuck I understand this is the best way.  Unfortunately, there  really aren't 
many (any) good pink rebloomers.  Not pinks that rebloom  here.  Just 
wondered how big a problem I'd be facing if I used something  other than pink.  
 
The iris register is my best friend!  Studied iris genetics for 20  years, 
mind just works in percentages and balks at tttt.  
 
Thanks!
