The first Rothkirch bud of this year. The pollinators are already chosen.
Bud on my original Rothkirch plant
Oh be still my heart. Your RK is so red. Will you tell us?
I will post a picture when the flower is open.
How exciting! Do you still get excited when you see blooms open Monika, even if you have already seen the bloom a hundred times?
The excitement is still there Shelley. It is part of the addiction lol!
Monika, I know you must be as excited as I am. Can't wait to see that beauty open along with all the beautiful and unique ones that you have.
Kell, you need some of that pollen for your dark, dark one that just opened!
Yes... please do post a picture when it has opened and achieved its final color...
And who are the prime donors for this one going to be Monika?
I intend to make cross pollination with RK #2. Both opened their flowers tonight. I hope that I will be able to obtain pollen because it has cooled off in the past days. Even white flowers stay green instead of turning into white color.
Just curious to find out if the pollination took. Are you referring to RK #2 as the one in the US?
The pollination did not take Nanny! RK org. had a few corns in the ovary. She is blooming right now and I will pollinate her with EP, Balao and Ecuador Rose. Rk #2 might be the US-RK.
Oh wow, those sound like very good crosses. Can't wait to see her again.
Hope you get some beauties from these crosses, Monika.
I love Monika's Rk pictures.
