Walter, I don't argue with this at all.  Any variety can bloom differently 
across town or down the block.  I gave up on BEST BET because, after the 
first season, it always seemed to get bit by a late frost.  I had the same 
problem with many of its children.

When I lived at Alvaton and had lots of space, I planted registered 
rebloomers in a 5 X 60 foot bed so I could treat them all the same (nearly).  
One observation I made was that this bed burst into bloom a week before the 
oncer beds on either side.  Also, my seedlings, mainly rebloom heritage, are 
among the first to bloom here.  I could always count on having something for 
an early show, but little or nothing for a late show. As a result, I have a 
tendency to equate rebloom with early bloom, from which the comment was 
based.   

EARL OF ESSEX is trooper here.  SUGAR BLUES, FEEDBACK, and VIOLET RETURNS 
were, also, unbeatable at Alvaton, giving rebloom when nothing much would.
