I am starting this threat to "hopefully" get some feedback from some of our resident hybridizers. I am a home gardener who is hybridizing and growing seedlings. I want to create pretty faces, nice scapes with lots of buds, and rust resistant foliage.
Question #1:
Where should I initially start my focus? So far most of my seedlings were crosses for the pretty faces. Should I be focusing on rust resistance first or perhaps scapes?
Question #2:
Depending on which answers I get to question #1 .... What advice can you give me to help me find some success in my specific hybridizing efforts?
