Ive waited a year for this one. First bloom.

 

[John D.]

Nice job

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice. And it will bloom forever.

 

[NYEric]

OK but what's the cross?

 

[Grandma M]

WOW:clap::clap:
It was worth the wait.

 

[Gilda]

OK but what's the cross?

longifolium x sargentianum

 

[Heather]

Great color on those petals!

 

[NYEric]

Thanx, pretty red petals for no besseae.

You should see the size of the plant. Sorceror's Apprentice is also one of the largest foliage phrags there is, often measuring 5 feet across.

NYEric, FYI, sargentianum can produce darker red petals than besseae, which is why it is one of the best breeders when it comes to red petals.

Yep that's the secret behind Mem. Dick Clemens!

Thank you Gilda and Jason for posting the cross. I forgot to do so. For now, this ones just a baby (see below). Its a division off a monster of a bush. 3 main growths, 8 new growths.
