Rothkirch x Herbstzauber


This is a hybrid from Brug Guru Alice Harris , grown out by fellow Guru Dan Carter. Both of them create great aurea hybrids, and over the years have given me the inspiration to have a go at hybridizing myself. Both I'm lucky enough to know as friends, even though we've never met.

This cross is from the notoriously elusive, fussy but beautiful Aurea Rothkirch , a  single pink, and Herbstzauber  a double orange from Germany . 

This is the result, of course this is the first bloom in our cool english climate and throughout the season it will right itself. But already I can see the promise of the colour, and I can vouch for the scent which is very strong of an evening.

Just needs a name, Dan over to you Dude!
