Doppelposaune is a sister to Desiree, another double peach apricot. Bred to achieve colored doubles, both hybrids show signs of degeneration. Parent plants are: flore plena Tiara x B. versicolor Kaskade. Tiara offspring is known to have often deformed or crippled flowers. We use both hybrids for breeding purposes only.
I have seen this one posted for sale on another site. Monika, you're giving us valuable information and saving us money at the same time by telling us which ones you use for breeding only.
I have Desiree,but the picture of it was not as pretty as this one.So if I can actually get it large enough to bloom it can be breed to EP?Will the offspring from that kind of cross be degenerative too?And I'm guessing that Desiree is yours.I'd like to know so the credit goes to the right person!
No, Desiree and Doppelposaune are bred by Mme. Blin. She threw them away, but I kept Doppelposaune for breeding.
You can try breeding EP to it but I would prefer breeding a aurea to it to stablize the gene for doubles. I dont know how strong the aurea part in EP is, I can tell you when my EP x Rothkirch babies will bloom.
What would you sugest as a breeding for it,something we have available here in the USA? Any thing spring to mind?
Any true yellow aurea or x candida will do it also.
By TRUE you mean not a hybrid?
Yes a aurea - hybrid. Desiree has already much, too much versicolor influence.
CC,
Try Whiskers, Jessie Noel or Becca Lynn..they are all Aurea Hybrids
I gotta go back and look at pictures of them,I have lots of time,its only 8 inches tall right now,thanks Monika and Glory!!
Whewie,how is this for Orange!!!
About as close to this as we can get right now is the Double Orange from Native Habitat. Both are beautiful.
NH is the one that takes forever to get your order???
Afraid so. I got my start from Hibiscus. I'll try to get another one as soon as it shoots up another basal shoot. If it doesn't, it will be fall before I can cut anything on it.
I like! Wow.
I have a little plant of Double Peach from NHE, is that the same Brugie, or different?
This is mine. This picture was taken very late in the year and she had lost a lot of leaves due to the cold.
They say orange is the least wanted color in our gardens. These "oranges" that we've seen today,from the past,would sure prove that wrong.
I'm a "pink lover"," anything,as long as it's pink", but I'm drooling over these oranges. Thanks Doc.and everyone who contributed, for reminising. Orange is a true Easter color, and I appreciate seeing all these beauties!

I didn't know there was a double orange. Wow sure is pretty.
Sure there is Mystic, the often maligned Herrenhauser.
That was the one I fell in love with,Shirley it looked great,sure wish we were sitting in the drive looking and comparing them again.
I wish I could get HG to bloom as well. I always thought it needed heat, but Liz doesn't have the heat we have and she has had pretty good luck with it. I love the depth of the color in your HG Liz. Very pretty.
It's outside and budding again. I think it takes less heat than was reported.

I like orange too even more now after growing out Susies seedling.
