The CS x DO cross has a light fragrance from what I remember. I'm terrible when it comes to identifying fragrance in blooms. When you have so many seedlings growing together sometimes it is a challenge.

Most of the Masquerade/Inca Sun crosses have remained small. The blooms have all been smaller than Inca Sun as well. So far I have not had any with strong yellow or orange coloration, but I have lots of seedlings from both sides of that cross yet to bloom.

Gordon, congrats on your seedling. I had seedlings from that cross bloom in just over six months last year. The first to bloom was 7-8 feet tall and the yellow blooms hung straight down. I attached a photo I took last fall. This plant froze to the ground over the winter and is just now getting back up to blooming size. I made lots of Axel Rose crosses last year in hopes that they would throw a variegated sport off while growing. I plan to cross several of them back to various variegates this fall.
