I don't really have a LIST.  As I indicated, much of it is in my head.  I'll 
try to make up a list over the next couple of months. Mike Sutton, John Reeds 
and others on the coast . . . could probably contribute with a lot of things I 
don't know about.  

I spot any mention of rebloom in catalogs.  This year alone, Joe Ghio 
mentioned rebloom on Amarillo Falls, Hot Property, and Feire Andre.  In earlier 
years, he sent me Street Talk, Moving On Down, and Noble Knight saying they had 
rebloomed some for him.  I learned that Classic Suede reblooms from Tempo Two 
catalog.  

Certain hybridizers, not necessarily known for their contributions to 
rebloom, used a lot of remontants in their work and many of their things can rebloom 
in temperate zones . . . Mary Dunn, Frank Foster, Bernard Hamner.  Most of 
these are classified as sporadic rebloomers and can, on occasion, rebloom in 
colder zones. My Valentine (Ben Hager) has been reported in CA & Australia.  But, 
one year I donated a rhizome to our display garden and it put up a bloom stalk 
that fall!

Others (that I've not really hear about reblooming ) come from coastal 
rebloomers and there's a good chance they are carriers.  Looking at 1702-1RE which 
has a stalk and may or may not bloom depending on when the cold hits and how 
bad. 

1702=1403-1:( Edith Wolford x 0660-2 (Silverado x Latin Lady)) X Theme Master
We have one ONCER=Silverado (anti-rebloom)
2 coastal rebloomers=Edith Wolford & Latin Lady 
(anything that contains either should be suspect as a carrier)
1 reblooms here=Theme Master
