Janet,
Have you tried VIOLET RETURNS and/or FEEDBACK? They are half sibs, each have
Lloyd's Z.'s PERFUME COUNTER as a parent. I found VR to be a bit more
tenacious, stronger with earlier rebloom, but FEEDBACK has the better form.
If I were to pick a top ten with rebloom being my main criteria, they would
both be on the list. When I was building a rebloom "core" group for my
rebloom program, both of these seemed to stand out as reliable contributors.
I will add VIOLET MIRACLE to this group as it probably will do VERY well for
you once established. I was unable to get rebloom from it in KY, but it is in
the parentage of my reblooming reds, courtesy of breeding done by Monty
Byers. He used VM a lot. Did I mention . . . it's pretty?
