Susan,
Some just get rust worse than others. Dave is working on the database to have it where multiple observations can be listed for various parts of the info such as rust so the info will be more useful.
To me being listed as resistant or susceptible is kind of the same. If a plant is listed as moderately resistant or highly resistant IMHO it is still susceptible to some degree because it still can get rust. Being susceptible does not mean it can't be resistant also. There is no known completely resistant daylily that I am aware of.
So "TO ME" if a daylily is for example
Moderately resistant then it is still moderately susceptible
I know that is just opening up a can of worms but I like to think of things in the simplest way sometimes and that's just how I look at it.
