Hello, Everyone,

I have given up hybridizing for fall rebloom.  Thanks to our five months of
over 100 degree F. temperatures, fall rebloom just doesn't happen in my
garden.  A few of the best rebloomers will start in Dec. or Jan. and bloom
till hot weather.  Winter blossoms always suffer frost damage.  My most
successful rebloomers are those that start in late Feb. or early March and
keep sending up stalks until late May.  I judge them by the total number of
days that they can produce attractive bloom.  My highest number so far is 90
days.  I have several with rebloom heritage that will bloom for thirty to
thirty five days, and I really don't know whether these are true rebloomers.
At least it's better than the fifteen days required for oncers.
