It looks like it will be mossed; however, I have not grown mossed seedlings before. Do they start out like this and as the seedling matures does mossing improve or is it destined to stay ‘gladular’ like this? It does look ‘hairy’ on the bud. It’s a nice strong seedling with the health of its Mum… so far. Early days though.
It looks beautiful!! Does it have a nice fragrance if you lightly rub the bud? I have had glandular trichomes like this in my polyantha seedlings. They have typically stayed about the same as they matured.
Wichurana is pretty much a chameleon. It takes on the characteristics of its mate rather well. Mossing, cresting, stripes, flower form are all fairly well picked up and expressed. It does tend to wash out colors in many instances, though. Take a look at Red Moss Rambler,, Closer to Heaven, , Scarlet Moss,Rose Gilardi,Papoose, even 0-47-19 and what all has come from it, as well as all the early Wichurana ramblers.
