As long as one of the iris in the cross has FC genes, you will have some of seedlings having FC genes, and if environment is correct, will express them. Doesn't matter what rebloom genes other parent has or doesn't have. What you need from the other parent is good secondary characteristics. Such as low mature mature leaf count, strong fast growth, cold hardiness, and good bud set temperature control for environment it is grown in. FC genes can be present but if mature leaf count etc, don't allow rebloom behaviour, then these genes can still be present, and be passed on to it's seedling. 

Different story for  Summer Rebloom genes.

Violet Miracle X Pagan Dance, (Imm x Csong) X Treasured. Seems like
there was another one... Mastery - can't remember the cross at the
moment.  Imm X Fogbound.  English Cottage X Fogbound.

Would you count Tea Leaves?  Coastal rebloomer that's hardy enough to
rebloom here.
One from IMM X Spirit in the Sky - not sure the latter has been reported 
to rebloom anywhere.

Also not sure if CSong has been reported - two from it.  One from
Seakist.  The list goes on.

Any examples of   rebloomers that can be attributed to crosses with
coastal or occasional rebloomers?
