Very nice Debra , It is such an extra pleasure when a plant sends out extra scapes . I am seeing some instant rebloom here for the first time on many cultivars. We had major rain yesterday and today Whoot! Whoot ! so I will be watching for other rebloom scapes on other cultivars.

Cobalt Rings, Innocent Discovery and the former "Valentine Sweetheart" are my picks for favourites out of this set of photos .

lilfinch, Yes she is own root. All of my roses are own root. Got her when they were called Flower Circus roses so she's been hear a long time. Own root seems to be the only roses that have grown well here. I've had dr. huey multiflora and a third one can't recall the name. When shovel pruning they all had roots not much larger than when they were planted. Pomponella could not be found own root back then. She put down her own roots a long time ago and abandoned the multiflora. Had to move one and the graft was just laying there unused. For me least own root gives me good strong roses that seems to better handle what mother nature can dish out. Years with to much rain, no rain, frigid weather and so on. Sorry for being long winded.

That IS a glad. My dad passed along some bulbs that were dug up last spring and given to him in late summer. I planted a couple dozen but that's the only one that's blooming. I hope they will make it through the winter and bloom next year though. I haven't had any iris blooming since spring. I need to get some of those reblooming types. My coneflowers rebloomed a little this year and I don't think they ever have before.

Lovely garden pic of your lates. Sugar Magnolia is beautiful. I'll put that one on my wish list. Can't help with any of the ones you are looking for feedback on. Julia

Two daylilies that I never tire of seeing: Pink Aloha and The Former Valentine Sweetheart. Thankfully they both seem to bloom well for you. Pink Aloha actually blooms a pretty long time for me too. Just not a mass of blooms at any one time...........Maryl

Maryl - I'm surprised at how long Pink Aloha is blooming this year, and it only has one scape with 15 buds. It's one that never opens multiple buds on a day, and you don't get a bloom everyday. I keep hoping one of those other fans on it will put up a scape, and I'm continuing to water them. The former Val. Sweetheart always reblooms well. It double scaped on three fans, so those have already done their rebloom. It will be interesting to see if it will put up a third round of scapes in its new ultra sunny space.

So nice to see your reblooms. With the cooler temps we are having, (80s and low 90s equal “cooler” in the south!), they do hold their color better! What are your thoughts about registering your seedling? It is so pretty.

Kate - I was hoping moving the former Val. Sweetheart into 9.5 hours of sun would increase the bud count. But bud counts were down on both the original scapes and rebloom scapes this year. It has increased to 20 fans, so I will register it either this fall or early next year with a 6 inch bloom, 25 inch scape, and 16 buds. It is a dormant. I am hoping it will work to keep part of the name Valentine Sweetheart.

Debra: Since I don't know beans about hybridizing, I want to ask if Pink Aloha can be used in a breeding program? She has some fine traits that would be nice to pass on to a seedling I would think. Substance of the blooms, scape strength, form, color etc. She's a wee bit tender, but maybe that could be bred out?.............Maryl

They are lovely, Debra. Triple Delight has beautiful contrast in the colors, and cobalt Rings is a lovely bloom. I really like the poly of Aerial Applique. Skater is such a pretty bloom, then there is Pink Aloha. Lovely still

Maryl - I have crossed Pink Aloha with two of my pink seedlings and some other pinks. Whether the seedlings will survive is another question. I lost nine of them to fungus gnats/ A lot of people I know have crossed Pink Aloha with beautiful pinks, and have not gotten anything registration worthy out it. Buntyn got two very nice pinks from it, and there are 12 other registrations with Pink Aloha as a parent. Several of them are peachy pink. One is even a UF - Sneaky Girls by Judy Davisson. It seems to me none of the kids have the super color that is Pink Aloha's unique selling feature. Several of them are peachy pink, one is a fuschia pink, one cream, and another is lavender. And I think it's more than a wee bit tender.

I like Innocent Discovery; like many, am a sucker for bitones. But Holley's plants I question for here. So how will you keep part of the name of Valentine Sweetheart? I don't think you could use My Valentine Sweetheart. Is My Sweet Valentine taken?
