This is a first time flush for this girl and boy is she pretty! The flowers start out pure white then gradually darken to a nice deep shade of pink. I never had any bug problems with her and she naturally grew into a beautiful standard form with a nice floral canopy. The fragrance is strong. On the powdery side. This one is most definitely going to be a keeper for me I'm sure.

I like that combination of two colors on the plant at the same time! Very up right grow going by the photos. She does sound like a keeper. Congratulations!
Great pictures, but that last one really caught my eye. It shows just how dark she really is. Nice brug, Gary.
Yes..Gary...anaward winner for sure... in fact ... it's just official... this soon to be named...Brug has won the New Introduction of the Spring 2009 Award..presented By ...Court Gardens here...
and as such has agreed to display it in it's prestigeous central display..
Yes... it is real dark.. and jumping there from that knock out white...MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The cuteness of the small stature with a full flush going on.. makes you want to have rows of them..
Breath taking
Yeah but Gordon......do you like it? LOL!!!
I agree with Gordon. It's amazing!
My plan for this cross is to have a darker, fragrant NOL. I have quite a few of this cross (my own) and hope for good doubles, but I have discussed this with Brenda, and she has never gotted a double, I can only hope.
I also have several of the reverse cross growing.
Good Luck with this one Gary.

Registering a brug essentially boils down to the choice of the hybridizer. Having grown many single pinks it is my personal opinion as the hybridizer that there are significant enough differences here to consider this one for registration. Nobody other than the hybridizer and people trialing a cultivar know enough about a particular brug as to whether it should be considered for registration. Pictures never tell the whole story they just show a snapshot of blooms in a moment in time. Since so many factors can influence how blooms look at any given moment you need to look at the whole picture over a period of time, not just a snapshot. Right now this one is up for consideration.
