If you could have only 12 brugs, which ones would they be (of the readily available varieties)??
My selections (I think, but subject to change):
Butterfly
Pink Beauty
Aurea Pink
Rosamond
Jessie Noel
Maya
Vers. Peach
Dr. Seuss
Can. "Species"
Solid Gold
Jean Pasko
H. G.
Not in any particular order:)
Would be interesting to see everyone's responses.....especially those who have actually grown gobs of different ones:) Would be good info. to help the newbies decide which ones they might want:)
Owen
Favorite dozen brugs.....
Can't improve on your list, Owen, these are almost identical to my list, except for Jesse Noel and Maya,(I have Peaches & Cream).
All good choices!
You should try Maya, Hibiscus. It is such a fast grower and great bloomer. Wish I had known you didn't have one and I would have stuck it in your package. Next one, if I still have cuttings then.
in order, but subject to change as new seedlings bloom
Cherie Amour
Ecuador Pink
Butterfly
Pink Beauty
Whiskers
Kyles Pink (opening now)
Spring Peach
Amber Rose
Becca Lynn

Next 2 spots reserved for 2 possible releases.
If I could only have one of the readily available varieties...it would be Butterfly...she sets seed so easily that one might think she were self fertile. That and she has excellent color and bloom charateristics. Of the not readily available...Cherie Amour or Rothkirch. Of course Cherie Amour would be my favorite only as it came out of one of my seeds.
Culebra is at the top of my favourites list! Such a compact but elegant looking plant!
Bruno Nicolai
Co.Wicklow-The Garden of Ireland
It counts, Tonny:) You have some interesting favorites:)
forgot completely about Culebra and yes RK would be on my have to have list. and then there's the Roserot that Liz posted......and Angel's Dream...lol
I'd never be able to keep the list down
I'll list my favorites right now, but subject to change daily.
L'Amour
Pink Beauty
Eventide
Tiara
Jessie Noel
Ecuador Pink
Versicolor Orange
Butterfly
Daybreak
Kyles Pink
and 2 seedlings that I have.
Maya
Butterfly
Creamsickle
Enchanted Double White
Phantasm's Tears
Jean Pasco
Equadore Pink
Whiskers
good old Charles Grimaldi
And all the others ..no order.
I can't honestly say what my favorites are because I don't know all that are available here. I see new names everyday here. I will say I am more partial to the ones with intense colors like deep pinks, oranges like the Dr.Suess and yellows like Whiskers. I would really like to have the Mobisu 2 from Monika and many others. Maybe one day we will get them here.
Y'all will most probably think I am crazy, but my favorite brug has got to be Frosty Pink - it blooms all the time, has a good dark green ruffled leaf, and never lets me down. Next is probably Jessie Noel and Dr. Seus and for me that is it for now.
