Aly's Mary Ruth
I sent leaves to Allison, then killed the mom. Here's a photo
Another.
Do you have a description? Maybe Allison can send us some babies one day. This one is hard to look up on Google. Linda
Sorry... it's not in the First Class database.
Pretty plant, though!
Any other data base do you know of?
Bob, does any of your older books have it?
Linda
linda...what's the name of it...do you know?
is it called aly's mary ruth
Laurie my leaves did not make it either :(
Linda it was a plant of Alice Droege
A lot of them made it into First Class but not all registered . I don't think they were Vintage. Alice owned Fredricks before it became D&P. She got Lupus. Many of her plants never made it to First class. Not every plant in First Class is reg. if it does not have date and reg. number. Most of her's were not registered.
Aly's Rodger Shifflett (8846) 01/03/2000 (A. Droege) Double chimera white large star/hot pink stripe, purple fantasy. Medium green, plain, heart-shaped, quilted, scalloped. Standard
Now the Chimera above was.
My faovrite Aussie's Alice is her's too.
D & P went out of business. Alice son took care of web sight. He has not taken it down.
This is all I know

No Bob it's none of them It's Aly's Mary Ruth and I am pretty sure it is not a vintage and I know it was never registered nor ever in First Class. Alice got sick and many plants never got into FC.

Bob, it is Aly's Mary Ruth.
I saw the Minstrel MR but I do not think it is it. I will have to check that one out. Not cazy about single blooms but my DD may.
Thanks for the info. Someone was asking for a description. I send along what you have. Anyone else?
Linda
sorry couldn't find it....always fun trying though
I have
Aly's Rosy Baby (Droege) Semidouble rose. Dark pointed. Miniature trailer (User Database)
It is by the same Hybridizer of Aly's Mary Ruth
>>>
Aly's Mary Ruth 99.9 percent sure is not a vintage won't be fount in an old book.
Aly's Mary Ruth was one of Alice Droege plants she did not have a chance to registered among others.
She does have several plants in FC but most are not registered. She also has the Streptocarpus Aly's.
Laurie has the picture of Aly's Mary Ruth posted.
Alice Droege got Lupus bad and that's why D & P took over but they went out of business. The web sight is still kept up by Alice's son. You may try emailing him and see if he knows anything.
You are not going to find it in a book, or anyone selling it.
