Can someone tell me what moss roses have had the best luck for them as far as producing viable seeds that produce good mossing? The only ones I have are Double Treat, Dresden Doll, Lemon Delight, Strawberry Swirl, Mel Hulse, the thorniest rose I own I think , and I do not think that really represents Mel in any way in my opinion =) Lady Moss & Henri Martin.
Thank You for any info. Next I want to focus on a few spotted roses … I am going to build a spot to actually get some refrigeration on these roses as I have heard that Song of the Stars, Marbee, and others may need a chill any other spotted roses that seem to pass on spotting would be appreciated as well.
I have mainly been focusing on striped roses and I am trying to work into other areas I think I may be able to work with Veilchenblau has been being crossed with a lot of my roses this week … I had been told by many that it would not do well in St. Pete Fl. But it seems to be doing very well here … trying to save pollen for other ramblers it may cross with that bloom later in the season…
Any help would be appreciated. Also working with a lot of the new roses such as Midnight Blue , Night Owl Rhapsody in Blue ect… Anyone think I am correct in trying to cross with strong yellows?
Planning a trip to Horseheads Ny where my Grandfathers garden has been for more than 60 years to hopefully get a good look at trying to identify some of his old roses that were old when he was young. I mention this because I noticed a gentlemen on the site from Elmira area. Hoping Eldridge Park Carousel will be up and running this year =) I bought my star on the carousel, and can not wait to go to Harris Hill ect. Any rose gardens in that area that are worth looking at as I see just over the border in Pa there are a lot of old roses tucked away in old cemetaries from 17 to 1800’s

I know I touched on a few different areas but any replies are appreciated.
