For me, it's Miss Emily MacKensie (I'm not positive of the spelling of her name)
If you could only save a few ... which would it be.
For me they would be:
Rosalla- blooms beautifully for me in partial sun or shade, sets pods easily
Rubirosa- for hybridizing and set's pods easily
Lemon Meringue- Is a heat lover and that is what I need in my yard
Lady Kathryn- Also does well in the heat
Fleming Island Rachel- I just love this brug.
I will try, okay: with you Patricia on Fleming Island Rachel, Berkonigan is a heavy bloomer here, Arbora S, love this heavy bloomer with great fragrance, either LBG or Shooting star to add an orange one.
That was harder then I thought it would be, so many great ones here.
MMMMM... well the hardest... would be leaving the ones you couldn't save...
they are mostly wonderful.. aside for a few difficult ones..
Georgia Peach is one of the first for me..really not a peach color.. but more of a bi-colored one... with yellows and pinks on the new flowers.. striking.. then it becomes more of a one colored peach flower..and ALWAYS with a bloom or two at the least...
as a plant.. perhaps Emerald Frost.. [ thanks Brenda ] a lovely double green varaigated with the strongest growth of any... from a cutting to a tree in a season.. this is a cutting from last fall.. planted in one of my gardens @ a friends... having overwintered dormant..
Funny thing.. the planter is a real thick maybe 1 1/2" ceremaic item.. from China.. they used to be about a throw away item.. sold n Chnatown for next to nothing.. as it was a throw away .. used in the shpping of the Chinnese mud eggs to us.. they'd fill them up with eggs packed in the mud for shipment.. now with so many growng.. they are an item..
