A Few From My Upstate NY Garden

3 years ago

Here are few from my garden.

BEST IN SHOW BETSY: I am really liking this one. It is hitting all of its registration stats: 28 inches tall with a 7 inch bloom. I love that the bloom is generally flat.

CHARLOTTE ROYCROFT: As the bloom season progresses and temperatures remain warm, the bloom colors change and different patterns emerge. The lighter petal edges get larger with the midrib remaining a darker pink. This is a typical early bloom. I will post other pictures as the season progresses.

ARROGANT B*STARD: An outstanding plant. Tall and a bud builder.

FRINGED SWEETHEART: FFEO for me. I love this one. I am a sucker for Klehm intros. I love the pastel look with the tendril and toothy edge. Here is a morning picture and a 5:30 pm picture.

That is all from me.

Mantis,

BEST IN SHOW BETSY has been in the ground since day one. It has been in the ground for little over a year. I like it!

Arrogant Bastard is especially nice this year; also, taller here than in the past. It is so tall at Crintonic--I often wondered why mine wasn't taller. Of course, Curt's garden is in full sun. Is Best in Show Betsy in a pot (first year) or growing in the ground?

I'll take any of those except for AB. I just can't see saying that name to visitors and/or children. It's a shame as it is a pretty color.............Maryl

Curt sent me AB one year as bonus. I didn't like the name of the color and gave it away. Yours looks pretty in the picture though. Best in Show Betsy has a pretty pattern on a large bloom.

BEST IN SHOW BETSY is my favorite among all these. I do like Fringed Sweetheart too.

Very pretty blooms! We planted Fringed Sweetheart a couple of years ago, but it hasn't done much for us yet. We'll give it more time. Charlotte Roycroft sounds intriguing. I look forward to seeing its other faces as the season progressed.
