H. fulva 'Rosea' x Heavenly Mr. Twister

H. fulva 'Rosea' (species) the source of pink shades, mine is a 48" tall EM DOR with ruddy rose 4" blooms accented by a deep rose red chevron eye, 4.3 – 4.66:1. Despite its having only 12 buds, seedlings of Rosea X "Garden Portrait-not" exceeded 24 buds in the seedling bed and even improved the next year.

HEAVENLY MR. TWISTER (Gossard 2004) M 39" DOR stupendous cascading, twirling 4.8:1 pinkish red (darker here last year when the photo was taken, it lightened up a tad in 2006) spider sports white midribs and a dark eye over a yellow green throat. Blooms measure 8" across with a 12" wingspan and open on scapes with 25 buds and 7 way branching, and the plants are mighty vigorous (RINGS AND THINGS X WILDEST DREAMS). Has had week pollen so far and these are the last seeds from it that I'll be offering this season.











Projected Results: Color and size variations in spiders, and hoping for some of dad's magnificent curling; DOR.
