Hi Susie,
Yes, it is your cross! It Y'd at around 4 feet and the top of the tree is under 5 ft. It is just loaded, too and it keeps drying out because it's only in a 3 gallon pot. You can't imagine how delighted I am, after drooling over everyone's beautiful pink blossoms with wavy long tendrils, to have one in my own yard.

This one is not trying to put out shoots or anything. It grew into a small tree form all by itself. It will be housed in the basement over winter at around 55 degrees and encouraged to go dormant for a few months so I can enjoy again next year. I'm hoping to learn whether to repot now, or in spring.

I will be posting more of your crosses - 2 Adora X Rosamond have buds that are near opening - in a new thread in the near future.
