Thanks very much for this info - I know these freeze proof guys are
around, but it is the dickens to track down which ones they are.  Some
of my rebloomers look pretty good and some look as bad as the others.  I
still have hopes for delayed, later spring bloom on increases of some of
the more enthusiastic and now damaged rebloomers.

Yes, Gary, please put your jpgs somewhere we can view them.

The reticulatas don't seem to be bothered by all the wildly fluctuating
temperatures, and BLITZ (SDB) always does well too - anybody have any
medians that don't mind being frozen solid in the midst of bloom?  Lloyd
cheated - he put buckets on his.

early one, but at least it's yellow, not brown!
