One of Susies

This one is showing some traits I like,it came as a wet seedling experiment.
I figured it needed its own thread.

Beautiful blooms, but those leaves are huge.

Here is the whole plant.

It's gorgeous! I agree, the leaves are huge and that adds to the beauty. Do you mind aanswering a few questions about it - - What is a wet seedling? What cross is this one from? What traits do you admire in this seedling & why?

Thanks, Eileen

Could be juvenile leaves. I just love it Root and I bet it matures to be one of the better ones!!

Wet seedling started here.

And so far,it colored up the first night,multiple blooms of a seedling,the scent is good from the first night on,good dark color,and it took my abuse,this one was not pampered.
Edit to say,everyone that came into the yard thought it was an EE because of the leaves,that is a plus.

Tendrils,did I mention them? here they are the first night.

Thanks Susie! It is your work,I will get a cutting to you,and we will see how it does,maybe you will like it.I sure am happy to grow them out for you,and hope this one ends up a keeper,I will put it to the next test and see how it roots.

Are you planning to come to Canada soon Doc??? ;)

Oh wow! The whole thing is just great!! LOVE the trendils!

Very pretty, Root and Susie.

Beautiful, congrats to both of you. I love the colour.

Congratulations to both of you! The flowers are beautiful.

Thanks all,Susie did the hard work,I just grew it out,I think this may be a keeper.

YW Root lol....sometimes it's work doing that too but both of you deserve a great big pat on the back for such a great job in whatever part you had :)

rootdoctor said, I think this may be a keeper.

I say, AND HOW! Gorgeous !!

Julie

WOW
Love the tendrils on that one!!!!!
Good job Root and Susie

Keep a close eye on that one, Doc. It's gorgeous!

This is one of Susies crosses from last year,this is the second year of blooms,it will not be coming in,my neighbor wants it,so it got a new lease on life.

What a great neighbor!! Lucky them :)

People always say,How can you get rid of a nice one like that? well I have to for room.and I need room for coming attractions.

Every now and then you get one that looks like this.
I knew this one was a keeper,I hope Susie likes it.

Here is a Rosamond to compare size.

Beautiful flower with great size. I can't imagine Susie not liking it.

Thanks Shirley,here a white one.

Fantastic, Root! Is the Budweiser a secret fert you use?? :)!

Gorgeous.

Beautiful Root! Great shots.

Wow!!

Good work Doctor,pretty in pink and ready to go to the dance,definately a keeper!The leaves must be big to compete with the EE for sunlight.

Wow.....what a beauty. It is gorgeous and so big and has such long tendrils. I love it. Both you and Susie did a great job on this one. There is no doubt that this is a keeper. What about her fragrance?

What a great week in brugs. Keep up the great work, Doc.... :)

edit: oops, I forgot to mention Susie.....sorry

Very nice Rooty! I'm loving all your beauties! I do have a question though! I understand that you need room for coming attractions, but tell me what made you decide that you'd get rid of it? It looks very healthy and doesn't look like it has bug problems. I'm just curious how you all decide what to keep and what to get rid of!

There are many lookalike seedlings out there,I have 3 that look so close you can not tell them apart,it has to be a step up in the Brug line to get named,should have traits that are better then the parents.

Beautiful, Root and Susie Just beautiful!!!

Fabulous Root. It has a wonderful color.
