Re: Re: REB: good ol HoM etc

Linda,
Derive is in the mail, as well as Gypsy Boy and Charabia.
Hope they travel fast!
Put small ones, so they can go in a small enveloppe, and travel quicker, but you might have to wait a bit to get any bloom.. 

Looc

Thanks, Loic. I'd love to try it. If you won't be upset if it dies here. :-(
In fact, you could send it now, if you want - it's not too late for planting, as long as I protect it a little.
I would like to try some more spotted SDB crosses with TBs. And hadn't thought to look for everblooming spotted ones. Few of the SDBs I've tried here can take the heat very well, but some do survive.
Anything as narrow as DERIVE crossed with HoM would likely be very narrow as well, but should be strong here.
I've tried several crosses with the SDB seedling lookalike from BEING BUSY (which thrives in our heat) and liked how they looked, but didn't try it on HoM. I keep hoping I can get some seedlings from it on IMMORTALITY, but no luck so far. However, there are some with ENGLISH COTTAGE that look strong, possibly will bloom next spring.
