Phrag Magdalene Rose 4N

[Chuck]

This is a plant that came from Chuck Acker. It is (Eric Young 'Rocket Fire' 4N X Beauport 'Rose Flare' 4N). The "toothed" petals would be a problem by traditional standards, but, I like it and, in my greenhouse, I'm the boss...it stays.

[Hera]

Shaggy but if you don't want to show it, I would call it a keeper. It has a certain charm.

Lovely bloom-great color!!

 

[W. Beetus]

The color is enough to justify keeping it! Great!

 

[Erythrone]

Incredible!

 

[SlipperFan]

What a great red!

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

I think it's toothsome!

Seriously, what a great red. :drool:

 

[NYEric]

Definitely a different red! Yay besseae hybrids!

 

[Bolero]

That is a phenomenal flowering, if you could just remove the teeth from the edge of the petals it would be perfect. This is a new hybrid to me, I am going to add it to my wish list.

A very cool thorny bloom!!! Jean

Chuck,

I grew a flask of this cross (also from Acker) and found it quite a vigorous and nice hybrid with the prominent teeth being the problem. Some clones are quite dentate on the margins and others are more moderate. Obviously this is a ploidy issue from the Eric Young parent. It also seems to show up in the progeny of Magdalene Rose. If you can find a keeper without this issue, it is a marvelous plant and flower.

Go around the petals with a pair of sterilized pruning shears
