I traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to attend the most enjoyable Mid-Winter Symposium of AHS Region 10 a few weeks ago and shared pictures of the hybridizing program of George Doorakian - including the two introductions shown here.
This first one featured here on the left is PHILL WARBASSE. Phill Warbasse is a 5.5" dormant diploid with a 34" scape, with 3 branches and 26 buds. This beautiful Emerald Starburst kid has a large greenish/yellow eyezone spilling onto sepals and petals and a 3/4" dark red picotee on petals and sepals. Very vigorous and stoleniferous. 10% polymerous.
Below is SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY, a dormant diploid, 36" tall scape with 24 buds, 7" diameter flower, medium red petals with a large greenish yellow eyezone. Sepals have a 1/2" light red band around the perimeter with the eyezone covering the remaining area. An eye stopper in the garden with re-bloom. This cultivar is also an excellent bud-builder. The parentage includes Rose F. Kennedy as a the female parent. Very fertile both ways. 15% polymerous.
