Sapphire Royle and Red Royale were registered by RBG but the registration hadn't been finalized with the necessary public offering for sale. I worked with Keith to comlete this part by proving information of their sale in catalogues. Any changes will need a public offering for sale documentation such as a  catalogue listing either of them for sale. They have both been sold at the RBG sales but this was not sufficant. Sale from a garden doesn't meed the requiwments for registration. For further information contact Keith Keppel. He's quite fussy on this.
Both Sapphire Royal and Red Royale are nicely formed diploids with excellent clean colours. They are both very hardy and excellent growers. The form is a bit old fashioned by todays standards.
