re: Chartreuse Bounty, a history lesson


From: Jpwflowers@aol.com

Hi Leroy, recent siberians with no White Swirl or Caesar's Brother in their 
parentage are hard to find  (especially if you don't count ones with 
'parentage unknown').  Snow Prince is one (Sibirica Grandis X self).  Rose 
Quest (Hager, early 80s) is another (very complicated parentage).  

Snow Prince has worked very well with White Swirl descendants.  Small flowers 
are the only 'disadvantage' that I've come across if you're breeding for 
large flowers.  On the plus side it has seemingly opened a whole new range of 
colors with the added benefit of hybrid vigor.  

There must be others but you'd have to search the check list for them.
