Has anyone ever tried breeding Angel Face to Basye’s Legacy? I really love the scent and look of AF. Maybe the weakness in her offspring could be fixed with such a cross?
No, instead I have made several pollinations of Legacy pollen on to Blue for You. Why engineer in known, persistent disease issues from the foundation when there are other mauve sources with tremendously greater disease resistance? No rose is perfect, but many are vastly superior to others.
Hi Kim,
Have you tried Basye’s Legacy with Poseiden? I read an earlier post by someone mentioning that they had, but they didn’t follow up with the results or a picture. Do you already have seedlings from your pollination with Blue For You?
I haven’t obtained Poseidon yet. I have hesitated using Blue Bayou due to the initial rust infection it experienced after the move here to the coast. IF it clears up and remains clean, I’ll consider it. No, I don’t have germinations from the Blue for You X Legacy crosses yet.
