Julie,

I grow Cherry Frost and love it. I'm using it as a parent as well. Congratulations on a job well done and good luck to you with the marketing!

I want to try rooting cuttings from my CGPP (Clare Grammerstorf x Prairie Peace) seedling over winter. I plan on sticking cuttings into dirt in pots. Any suggestions on how I could improve on that would be appreciated. Can I do with new wood or should it be last seasons wood?

Thank you for sharing that Daniel. Based on your experience I'll give this one some more time. Nice looking seedling BTW.

Kim and Duane,

Excellent points. I think I'll keep it and see what I can get from it. Thanks for the responses!

Thank you for providing this information David!

Congratulations! I hope you are successful in propagating the sport.

I have a couple of (Midnight Blue x Cinco de Mayo) x Canadian Shield seedlings. MBCDMCS2 has been blooming in flushes while MBCDMCS1 bloomed this spring with one flush and nothing since. Normally I would cull the seedling but I like the color, form has potential as an OGR style, it has moderate frag...

The second rooted cutting is spoken for.

That fade is very interesting. I would have expected that the yellow would go and the pink would hold. That's what happens to almost every orange, apricot, gold flower that I breed. Does this stay green or drop its petals cleanly? If this one doesn't get a lot of B.S. or mildew, I'd love to try usi...

Great cross Thomas with great results. Love the color on #1!

That's a really nice yellow!

Thank you for the link Henry

Congratulations Joe. Great cross!

Larry:

And two more
13-1 x CampfirePetit Pink x 13-1.

Petit Pink x 13-1 was a mildew magnet so it got tossed last week but it was a nice yellow.

Larry,

Here are a few 13-1 offspring that I kept to work with before I lost it to winter.
Pretty Lady x 13-1(Royal Edward x Petit Pink) x 13-113-1 x (Red Dawn x Suzanne)

Very good result. My problem with 13-1 is that it is not reliably winter-hardy out in the elements in our winters which rarely dip below zero. I had hoped it would do better with one parent being Orange Surprise which is ([Carefree Beauty x Rise N Shine a.k.a Pink single] x [Carefree copper= Carefr...

Lovely! What a great color! It's so hard to convince a Rugosa to be yellow, and you have done it.

Thank you Betsy.

Very interesting! I like the soft dawn shades. I hope it is fertile!

Thank you and I hope so too!

Thank you Kim!
