Love them all! Ooh Betty Bush is spectacular! And I always choose Sp FB as my favorite :)

I have very very few with rebloom (instant) this year, seven to be exact, and all but 2 of them are my seedlings!

Nat - It sounds like you have some very good seedlings if they are outdoing your registered ones on rebloom.

About Lovely Pink Lady, it should say it's never rebloomed until this year. It's bloomed every year I've had it.

Certainly elaborate teeth on Betty and a nice green throat; the hybridizer said he wanted something special for his mother. I wonder what Nancy thinks. As I recall, she isn't thrilled about the Bush cultivars.

Now, Cobalt Rings is a Petit. How is it for vigor and scape height?

They are all gorgeous! Betty Bush is a dramatic beauty. Pink Aloha and Lovely Pink Lady are delicate colors and so pretty. The edge, eye, and colors are elaborate and beautiful. But Spacecoast Francis Busby just makes me happy when i see it. It is such a cheerful color and pretty edge.

Mantis - I have two Bush cultivars, and like them both a lot. Both bloom well and multiply well. Cobalt Rings is blooming just above the foliage this year. I don't remember what it did last year since I was away so much. It's extremely vigorous here. In fact, I just sold two fans on the Lily Auction because the clump has gotten so large and is covering up plants on each side and in back of it. It has very tall foliage this year. I do have it planted in a sheltered place next to my house, and that seems to be its sweet spot.

Very nice post, I especially like Betty Bush and Cobalt Rings. I have really been enjoying S. Frances Busby, it tried to rebloom here but DH thoughtfully set a bucket on top of it so I had to cut the whole plant back.

A couple favorites here, Spaecoast Fancis Busby and pink Aloha. PA looks a bit different today.

Nancy - So sorry about the bucket mishap and SC Francis Busby!

Sherry - With the cooler temps and some deep watering this week, Pink Aloha has deeper color, bigger ruffles, and a more apparent white edge. When temps are in the 90s, as they usually are, the white edge is just not there. I also think this last bloom is not as round as some of the earlier ones.

Debra

So true. Pink Aloha is even more beautiful when the weather cools off a bit and the color deepens. In my climate it doesn't happen often enough, but she's still pretty as a pale pink to my eyes. I always enjoy seeing yours.......Betty Bush is a stunner. Red with a white edge is a great combination.............Maryl

Lovely group of blooms! Betty Bush really stands out. Your seedling is very pretty. Pink Aloha looks good as well.

I keep coming back to the rings on Cobalt Rings - wow! I like the form of Lovely Pink Lady the best, but overall, my pick would be your seedling.

Lori and Alex - Thanks for the comments on the seedling!
