First of my seedlings to bloom this year.
Deborah x Arthur Bell - has a bit of proliferation but the colour is so striking and it has a slight scent so I am going to wait.
Two open pollinated Christopher Columbus - the colour very similar to the mother however lower petal count and quite different in size to each other. To my nose, neither are scented but my husband disagrees.
Now this one is a real surprise! I planted Stephen Rulo last November and when I got the bare root plant there were a couple of hips so I decided to plant them. Well, colour very similar to the pics I have seen of Stephen Rulo and it is strongly perfumed. I will have to wait and see how the parent and seedling compare, still I just love this colour!!
I didn't do that many crosses last year but still have a few seedlings which I am eagerly waiting to see bloom.
Anyone else with seedlings? Would love to see!
