Eyeconic Pink Lemonade x R. wichuriana
Can’t wait to see this one!
Andy, please do me a favour. When you write that you used ‘Bull’s Eye’ please make it two words and not one, like my own seedling’s name. I don’t want my seedling to be associated with that one in any way. ICRA should NEVER have approved such a close name. ‘Bullseye’ is NOT a synonym for ‘Bull’s Eye’ (or vice versa).
My apologies to you, Simon. I should have remembered (and even wrote you about it last year). The ICAR definitely blew it on this one!
Andy
It ok, Andy… I didn’t mean to sound so narky… I am just getting tired of defending my rose around the interent because people cannot differentiate between the two names. People have point blank told me my rose has terrible disease resistance… which is funny since they were in the U.S. and I am in Australia and it hasn’t been released yet. I am currently talking with ICRA-Rosa to see if the problem can be rectified.
Coffee Bean x Rosa virginiana is growing as a germination from this year. This year’s crosses are a bit more standard in thought.
Ha ha! I just hit First Impression with Rosa virginiana.
Dr Huey x Carefree Copper. One good hip out of less than 10 pollinations. With luck the offspring will have the vigor of Dr. H, plus the winter hardiness and thorns of C.C. We can call it Copper Hooey and sell as a deciduous pyracantha.
A perpetually flocked, deciduous pyracantha! LOL!
Carefree Beauty X Old Port, there should be a bloom ready within the next couple of days.
Probably my oddest one is Falling in Love X Unconditional Love. FIL is THE thorniest rose I have and I crossed it with a mini moss. You all are looking for thornless and unintentionally I went the other way. I never even thought about how thorny the offspring could be, lol!
I also crossed Candy Land X Red Intuition looking for stripes and I tried Koko Loco X Eyeconic Pink Lemonade for their odd colors. We’ll see what happens!
