Announcing the 2014 pollination results

I knew I had to control myself, or there would be FAR too many seeds to make room for, so I stopped pollinating about the first of August. I figured that way, I could make sure all the hips would ripen prior to the squirrels and rats feasting on them and it would (hopefully) limit the quantity of seeds. It almost worked...

 

It's now November 11 and all but six hips have been harvested, cleaned and stored. There are still way too many crosses and hips, but that's all part of the fun, isn't it?

 

To help in selecting potential seedlings to grow on further, I've separated them into a few categories so when they flower, I hope to be able to remember why I made the cross and use that memory in evaluating the results.

 

This is what I accomplished this summer of seemingly endless extremes in sun, heat and lack of water. Considering all the plants endured, the results are probably pretty good. 

I had the fun of using quite a few of my own roses in these crosses as well as three of Jim Sproul's and two of Robert Rippetoe's. L56-1 is a very healthy, very fertile, single, saturated red "mini" containing Jim's Thrive!. M37-1 and O117-5 are two of Jim's unreleased Hulthemia seedlings. Carlin's Rhythm X China Doll is a large flowered, single pink floribunda Robert sent me some years ago. Due to the extreme conditions this summer hit us with, both M37-1 and Carlin's Rhythm X China Doll are gone. Fortunately, they did provide some seeds, which, hopefully, will germinate.
