The first seen below is a seedling coming from a cross of 'Singin' in the Rain' X [('Marmalade Skies' X 'Baby Love') X 'Julia Child']. It has good color and nice fragrance.
The next seedling has the same pollen parent, but a different seed parent. The cross was: (<{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha' X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]} X 'First Impression'> X "Basye's Thornless") X [('Marmalade Skies' X 'Baby Love') X 'Julia Child']. The petals are almost translucent, but with reasonable substance, so I am interested to see how it does outside the greenhouse. I hope that it gets a few more petals as it matures.
The last seedling in this post is from a complex Hulthemia cross and has "Basye's Thornless" as one of the grandparents. The blotch is taking on a more circular appearance. It is nearly thornless. Again, I will be interested to see how it performs outdoors since typically the blotches get larger as the seedlings mature. God willing, I will post photos of these next year as more mature seedlings when they are growing outside of the greenhouse, so stay tuned!
When I saw the last one, the first thing that popped into my mind was whirligig.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yeah it's a strange looking seedling!
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful. Any scent on the last one?
ReplyDeleteThank you Kimmie! Yes, there is some scent (I was pleased to find out today when I checked). Many of the Hulthemias have a strong pleasant scent. This one is more mildly scented, but the fragrance is definitely there.
DeleteFascinating. I guess that is the blotch plus white ey
ReplyDeleteHi Jakub, that would be my guess also. I will be interested to find out what happens with the blotch when this seedling is more mature and grown outside. I am very happy to see that this one has good vigor and that the blotch persists even in the heat.
DeleteI love those coral colors. I used to have white shrub roses for my landscape but replaced them all with coral flower carpet roses which I think looks phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteThe white rose with circle it's really spectacular!!!
