'Rick Jordan' is one of the best stellars around. It grows thick and has bright pink blooms that seem to pop. I have learned it is a popular plant too through this year's sales, so I will up the production next year. I have not had luck with using it in breeding, but perhaps in due time.
The month of May is always hectic, and now that the greenhouse is clearing out and I can actually breathe, I am in the process of retiring older stock plants. Few gardeners do this regularly enough. The best vigorous plants are 1-2 years old in my opinion. It is sad to compost old friends, but you can always plant them out in the garden for one last showing before the frost claims them.
The best seller by far was/is 'Grainger's Antique Rose'. When I get my act together I will take more photos to share.
