Hi iris dude,
      You didn't sign your name and my awful memory can't recall who you 
are......anyway the rebloom crosses I've made here in zone 8 of SC have not 
involved any you listed but then again I don't have what you would call a specific 
hybridizing plan...I can only add if it's useful the rebloomers that are super 
reliable here in heat and humidity...now these are not primarily newer ones so 
I suspect that they'd leave alot to be desired in the areas of form and bud 
count...but...
WINTERLAND
BLATANT
SKY QUEEN
MISTY TWILIGHT 
those absolutely lead the way as almost no-fail rebloomers...followed by less 
reliable
CORAL CHARMER
BELVI QUEEN
WINESAP
SEA WORLD
DARK CRYSTAL
SMELL THE ROSES
a few others are sporadic rebloomers here and I've added last year ANXIOUS, 
MARIPOSA SKIES, MARIPOSA AUTUMN,  and ISTANBUL so we'll see about those.  I 
must add that I don't fertilize the heck out of them for fear of rot since our 
humidity some years would really devastate them.   this is somewhat loamy sand.
Arilbreds seem to do well however when I keep them in the drier areas.   
Thanks for you info too, several on your list I'd like to try sometime...
