RE: HYB: ? rebloom genetics (was Renown x Immortality)

I can't help on this one.  I have grown Victoria Falls for many years.
Though I have been told it is a rebloomer, it never has for me.  The only
other one I have tried is Immortality.  After four years with no bloom at
all, I threw it out.  I don't know anyone in this area who has grown it
successfully.

Maybe I should have asked the question differently - any of you care to 
speculate on how the rebloom genes from these two breeding lines might 
pair up and express (or not express) themselves with rebloom?

I've been trying to combine IMM & VM lines here - nothing to show for it 
yet, & am not sure it's a good idea to even try.  Too many bad things 
from both sides.

IMMORTALITY = I DO X ENGLISH COTTAGE

RENOWN = MATRIX X SUKY

Expanded pedigrees:

IMM = [GRAND BAROQUE x AMY] X [((CRINKLED IVORY x AUTUMN SENSATION) x 
(GRAND BAROQUE) x CROSS STITCH]


RENOWN = [(VIOLET MIRACLE x (SISTER HELEN x I DO)] X [VIOLET MIRACLE x 
VICTORIA FALLS]

<Have any of you tried crossing these two, either direction? Just 
wondering how the rebloom genes from these two would pair up - early 
fall/summer or just late cycle? Or not much rebloom of any kind.>
