Almost every cross (at first) will be an F1 that combines evergreen foliage, rebloom, and rust resistance. The first crosses will be made in the US at Harmon Hill. Seedlings will probably be grown in containers in rust-producing conditions. Seedling selection can begin early because evergreen seedlings are usually faster-growing and rusty seedlings can be immediately discarded. With luck, some of the F1 might be good. When I get the parents to Ecuador, they can also be screened for rust resistance. | Almost every cross (at first) will be an F1 that combines evergreen foliage, rebloom, and rust resistance.
