I'm still not the rollers biggest fan (just trying to slow down sales Bev!!) as they all look like rollers! There's not as much genetic and phenotypic diversity to keep me happy. I have saved some seedlings that are a bit different in shape or color but I'm unsure if any will ever get a name. Maybe this next seedling crop will make me eat my words. They don't bloom as often so it's hard to breed towards an objective when you might not get bloom on a seedling roller for 4-5 years. My other complaint is that they RUN. I can't imagine my neat freak friend Tim tolerating that!

Guess I still have in my head Helen's statement" "Kevin those rollers don't sell!"

I think they are good for EXTREME places as they can root in the least bit of soil and grow.
