New "antiques".

6 years ago

The hybrid Hugonis seedlings are flowering! I'm surprised the double flowered ones are beating the single flowered one which created them. This is 1-72-1Hugonis flore plena, a self seedling of my 1-72-1Hugonis, a result of crossing Ralph Moore's 1-72-1, the sister of Rise'n Shine, with R. Hugonis. This is double (precisely what I wanted!), thornless, highly scented and will occasionally "repeat" due to the climate, like its parent.

Natural light.

This is Ping Dong Yue Ji X 1-72-1Hugonis. Some think Ping Dong Yue Ji may be Cels Multiflora. Whatever it is, it flowers continuously, is GORGEOUS and smells wonderfully! This seedling has papery petals like Ping Dong; has MANY prickles like Hugonis; is more the Hugonis coloring and has a marvelous scent! It will also, sometimes, "repeat" due to climate.

Wouldn't they be wonderful planted among ceanothus?
