Re: Re: REB: Immortality/Silver Dividends

Hi Sterling,
I have tried to track that in the past with no luck.  One year we had about
75% of Bountiful Harvest X Colorwatch rebloom (31 seedlings).  Made the
cross the next spring and two years later the same cross produced 2
rebloomers out of 23.  Some parents do regularly produce more rebloom
children but the percentage is always different.
Mike - for what its worth
