For a while I thought I had lost Rothkirch. During a windstorm one of my Banana trees fell on her and snapped off most of the branches.
Of course none of them rooted. So I was left with a trunk and one main branch. She rebounded quite nicely as you can see here and is putting on a nice flush of flowers. easy to see why she is so much in demand.
Another Rothkirch Pic
WOW so nice to see blooms at this time, I am already dreaming of early spring so mine will get outside and bloom.
Doris
Wow! Rothkirch is lovely!

I can see why a lot of people have that one on their want list, it is really nice

Nice but almost impossible to root. Airlayering is probably the best bet but I won't touch this one for at least a year until she canopies out more.
Beautiful. She is one of my favorite singles. Nice pictures.
I forgot to add a picture of Rothkirch in Iowa in my above post. I love this brug. She was probably my most photographed brug along with Rosalie and Rubirosa.
She is something special. I just love those long tendrils. She is tops on my wish list.
Brugie
yours is absolutely amazing also, that is some Bloom, the shape of the Bloom
great, I can sure see why you guys love it. what's not to love

Number two on your list Bettydee (if you don't have it already and like these area type blooms) should be Rosalie. Rosalie is a Rothkirch x Ocre cross and has many of the Rothkirch endearing qualities without the hassle. Easy to root, fast to grow and a very vigorous repeat bloomer that sets pods easily....This is a picture of Rosalie from this season. She is about to flush again for me in a major way. You can see she displays a lot of the Rothkirch genes and has a larger flower.
True beauty's .... nice shots!
