Hi Linda,
I don't know if I can help you too much but here are the ones that do well
for us. (Look nice too)
SWINGTOWN is great, good grower and beautiful flower, used it my reblooming
and SA breeding programs for a couple of years now. Produced some great SAs
and a couple of REs.
BLUE SUEDE SHOES is regeistred as a rebloomer, hasn't yet for us but I am
still optimistic. I have used it extensively in both SA and RE breeding for
the last few years. The only knock I have on it is it sometimes has
inconsistent stalk height. Not a big knock, just a personal thing.
VIVE LA FRANCE very nice, good grower
TEMPTING FATE has moved to our rebloomer list after three years of rebloom
in a row. Very good color and grows well.
FOGBOUND not my colors but a great parent and average grower LOVELY DAWN
very pretty, good increaser
FASHION STATEMENT - finicky for us but right up the road 15 miles grows
great. Nice flower.
Mike
