Like Betty, I want "CA" form, patterns & colors without diluting the rebloom genes already here to the point they are lost completely. And without doing the same to climate tolerance here.

But I'm also hoping they can <add> some positive gene interactions re: growth response to my climate and heat tolerance during bud set/bloom stalk initiation. The CA/Oz selections often try to grow like crazy here, but not very good at wet foliage (i.e. foliar disease resistance)/erratic freeze tolerance.

<Again, I don't want or need additional rebloom genes from the CA Rebloomers. I want their branching, form, patterns & colors. As stated before, I'm hoping
the CA reblooomers will not block the summer rebloom genes. Betty KY>
