I like hot eye catching colors, bright cherry red, orange and bright gold-yellow. I also like bright purple. I shy away from pastels, washed out looking colors and whites, creams. I do not like anything frilly or toothed very much. Must be winter hardy and have a high bud count. Flowers must open all the way. I prefer large flowers. Flowers that bloom too short- down in the foliage, I don't keep. I also don't keep anything that is splotchy or frumpy looking.
