Thank you!
The woodsii x spice seedlings are much bigger now and im trying to determine if only two of them are true crosses or if its possible all 5 seedlings are true crosses. I tried to be so careful when pollinating for these. I ripped the petals and sepals off before the flower was able to open to try and avoid self pollination. 2 of the seedlings are growing slower and have maintained 3 leaflets on all of their leaves. The other 3 have been more vigorous and have 5-7 leaflets and look much more similar to the woodsii parent. One of the 3 also started to sucker. How easily is suckering passed on from a species parent? Are leaflets a good way to determine if the cross took? Honestly I wish i could just genotype them for repeat blooming.
Iām so hoping these are true crosses. Spice is an incredible tea rose.
