Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
My Selected Hybrid Rhododendron Seedlings
My general plan of action is to grow seedling hybrid rhododendrons in a field and, as they bloom, to select plants that show promise and transplant them to the display garden and watch them. These are selected seedlings. After some time, if a selected seedling seems to be particularly good, I’ll number it with a consecutive number with the prefix TT (last 2 letters of my last name) and propagate a few, just in case the original plant dies. Over time, many of these numbered seedlings turn out not to be as good as I originally thought and they are discarded. You will notice large gaps in the consecutive numbering of the current list of numbered hybrids. Sometimes I will number a seedling right from the field row if it seems really special.
I have changed my plans to distribute not only my hybrids but any all-ready named plants in my garden to rhododendron enthusiasts. We now have a wonderful way to easily and cheaply propagate rhododendrons at Van Veen Nurseries in Portland, Oregon. They will custom root rhododendrons for you for $3.00-$4.00 a cutting plus postage. I will send a cutting of any plant you see on my web site to them and they will root it and send it (and the bill) directly to you. Please follow this proceedure: Call or e-mail Van Veen and confirm what you want to do. E-mail me and tell me what cuttings you want sent. Cuttings are usually rooted from August to November or early December. I will send the cuttings to them and e-mail you what cuttings I have sent and ask you to reimburse the postage for the cuttings. Remember that most of the plants are young and only a small number of cuttings can be taken in a year. For active members of the New York Chapter, I will root a cutting over the winter myself and give it to the member in the spring as a gift.
If a numbered plant of mine does well in your garden over the ensuing years, and you think it is worth naming and registering, you are welcome to do so. If I register any of my seedlings, I’ll inform everyone via this web site so the same plant is not registered with different names by two people. I have been able to include pictures of some of my hybrids.
I hope to have pictures of all of them in 2022. Over the years as these numbered seedlings mature some of them become less attractive, usually getting leggy with sparce foliage or are badly damaged over the winter. Even though I think the flower is very important, plant habit is also important and I won’t continue on with a hybrid with poor plant habit. For these plants I have added “discontinued” and the year. i.e. 9/2015.
Notes on ‘Norman Gill’. You will note that many of the crosses are the results of using pollen from ‘Norman Gill’. I had noticed that ‘Anna’, a hybrid grown by Halfdan Lem from seed from England, was producing fantastic hybrids on the west coast. I discovered that it was a hybrid of ‘Norman Gill’ x ‘Jean Marie’. I decided to obtain a budded plant of ‘Norman Gill’ and use it in my hybridizing. Not being very smart, I never looked up to see the color of ‘Norman Gill’ and when I received the plant, the flower was red. The plant I received could not have been ‘Norman Gill’ as ‘Norman Gill’ has mother of pearl color flowers. also ‘Norman Gill’ does not produce pollen. So the question is, what did I get? I am guessing it was probably ‘Jean Marie’, but I don’t know that. So everywhere you see the pollen parent is ‘Norman Gill’, it isn’t. It is the mystery plant. 6/12/12. I have changed all the cross descriptions to “Unknown West Coast Red” but I can’t change the wording under the pictures. 11/21/13.
4/6/15 After assessing my seedlings after a very difficult winter (-1 degree F.) I have discarded about 40 numbered plants because of leaf burn, leaf spotting (mainly yellows) or major die back of stems or outright death of the plants. We had about 15 inches of snow cover during the cold period and that saved all of the plants under the snow and low growing branches that were under the snow. But those plants with major damage above the snow line are useless and I will cut them down. Others that are not so bad I will just not propagate or disperse. I have also changed the Especially Noteworthy list.
Notes on open growing (leggy) plants. 9/2015. Quite a few of my hybrids turn into open growing or leggy plants after 7 or so years. I call these 7 year plants because they are great for 7 years and then turn sour. Even though the flowers are great the overall look of the plant becomes bad. These plants I will not propagate nor disperse and the worst I will discard.
‘Ananouri’ – A registered Phipps hybrid that is pure red but leggy and not a good doer. Registered as (‘Britannia’ x discolor) but I think it is (‘Britannia’ x ‘Mars’) or ‘Mars’ selfed. It is so very red that I can’t believe it is half discolor. Also the plant looks and behaves a lot like ‘Mars’ and Mr. Phipps had both plants and especially liked ‘Britannia’. It is named after a castle in Scotland. The last plant is gone.
‘Ananouri’ x ‘Howard Kuhn’ A George Woodard cross. I abbreviate this as AN x HK. See below for some info on ‘Annanouri’ x ‘Howard Kuhn’.
1/1/19: I think this plant is not AN X HK is ‘Annanouri’ selfed. The ‘Annanouri’ x ‘Howard Kuhn’ is very similar to ‘Mars’ and shows no sign of the dwarf ‘Howard Kuhn’ that has VERY small hanging flowers. (See below for ‘Howard Kuhn’) This is a very special plant with a very striking flower.
‘
Bob Schill’ – ‘Whitney Orange’ x ‘Golden Star’. Sometimes called “WOGS”. Jack Rosenthal cross. This plant has beautiful foliage in addition to the c0lor.
‘Howard Kuhn’ – metternichii v. tsukushiam x (yak#6 x haemaleum) (This is also reported as – degronianum x (yakushimanum x haemaleum)) This is a hybrid developed by Howard Kuhn. It is red and indumented. Werner Brack kindly sent me some cuttings and they are rooted. I don’t know how Howard got red from this cross as only 1/3 of its parents are red and both metternichii and yak are notorious for killing the red color in a cross. (See above for George Woodard’s cross of ‘Annanouri’ x ‘Howard Kuhn’.) ‘Howard Kuhn’ is not a good doer and is really a rock garden plant with small leaves and small flowers.
‘Bud’s Yellow’– [(‘Inca Gold’ x yak) x wardii 4170] x ‘Dexter Orange’
‘Mary Guthlein’ In the early 70’s I named a rhododendron for my mother in law and my wife’s maiden name, ‘Mary Guthlein’. I gave cuttings to several people but somehow didn’t keep any for myself. The original plant died and I had none, so Werner Brack kindly sent me some cuttings for me to root. I Googled the name and Henk Borsje has a picture of it in his garden in Europe which I have reproduced above. Isn’t it crazy how plants get around? I am going try to find out its parents. (If anyone knows please tell me as I don’t think I have notes that go back that far.)
There are several plants in the listing that I used as seed or pollen parents that are not registered and you might not be familiar with them. Here they are in no particular order:
‘Margolit’ – A Nat Hess plant. Nat told me two stories about this plant at two different times. Once he said he made the cross of ‘Cavalcade’ x Hardy fortunei. ‘Cavalcade’ is ‘Essex Scarlet’ x griersonianum which is vey red. Then later, he said the seed came from Hafdan Lem and Nat didn’t know its background. (Nat got a lot of seed from Lem.) It is flesh colored, perfect sphere of a truss and hardy to +5 F. As it ages it does open up and has an open plant habit. It is the Hebrew spelling of Nat’s wife’s first name Margaret. There is also a picture of it under “Named Rhododendron Hybrids”.
‘Woodbench’ – This is an unknown Phipps hybrid growing growing next to a wooden bench in his garden. Large truss, pink/yellow and very attractive. I thought that I had a plant of it but now I don’t think that I do. The original plant is gone from the Phipps garden.
Phipps 32 – This is the designation of the Phipps Evaluation Committee for a very good yellow hybrid in the Phipps garden. It was later registered as ‘Phipps Yellow’. Mr. Phipps listed it in his stud book as (yellow seedling x ‘Golden Star’). I am guessing that “yellow seedling” is: (Hardgrove Hicks yellow x ‘Naomi’) x ‘Crest’. Hardgrove didn’t germinate his seed, but rather gave it to Paul Vossburg to germinate and then transplant the seedlings into flats over the winter. Paul would then sell the seedling back to Hardgrove in the spring. If Hardgrove didn’t have the money or the spsace to grow them, he not purchase all of the seedlings, Paul was free to sell them to anyone. That is how Hicks (a nursery on Long Island and where Paul worked before WWII) got the plants. Mr. Phipps was a frequent visitor to the Hicks nursery and would have been aware of the Hardgrove seedlings growing there. Howard Phipps used ‘Naomi’ a great deal in his hybrids. This is one of the few hybrids on the East Coast with ‘Crest’ in its background. It is an open growing plant and is susseptable to root rot.
.
‘‘Super Nova’ x ‘Very Berry’ This is a George Woodard hybrid. It must be a tetraploid as both parents are. It is VERY striking and open growing. This might be the first tetraploid hybridized on the East Coast.
PF x RC Plant 4/20/20
‘Peter Faulk’ x ‘Red Crown’ Abbreviated as (PF x RC). A George Woodard cross that I have used frequently. It is very impressive in the garden and has produced many good red hybrids for me.
‘Peter Faulk’ – strigillosum x ?
‘Red Crown’ – ?
Here is the list of my numbered hybrids: (A “***” in front of the number indicates a plant that I think is especially noteworthy.)
I have several plants of this cross that are about 35 years old and I have selected five of them as particularly beautiful foliage plants. Their flowers are the usual light pink fading to white.
degronianum PF x yak Exbury #3 is selected for foliage & plant habit. #4 & 5 for profuse blooming.
TT1 – This is not my seedling. In 1964, Don Hardgrove decided to leave Long Island and move to Montana to run a hunting lodge there. He sold almost all of his rhododendrons to a New Jersey nurseryman named Ted Kordus. He did sell about 20 of his most selected and named plants to members of the NY & Conn. chapters of the ARS. Sid Burns told me about this, and his desire to purchase many of the selected plants. I traveled to the Hardgrove garden in May, just to see it before its break-up. The garden was about a half acre in size with tall oaks giving light shade. Way off in a corner I saw a good yellow with a perfect truss. The plant was only 18″ high. I told Sid about the plant and he asked Don about it. Don had forgotten he even had the plant and as a little reward gave me the plant together with two rooted cuttings of it, saying that I should name it. I’ve grown it on all these years (the original plant died). The truss is a perfect sphere, 7 lobes, with a top flower and is a good yellow (the color is much better than in the picture). It almost never sets seed. I was able to use it once in a hybrid, see TT145. (TT111 is an open pollenated seedling from it.) It’s enormous drawback is its plant habit. It is very leggy holding its leaves only one year. The flower will impress you. It roots very easily. There are some plants in the Mass. Chapter and I would be interested in learning how hardy it is for them. It is perfectly hardy for me, but that is not saying much. The plant was from a batch of 1954 seedlings (seed batch #152) of ‘Painted Star’ open pollenated. ‘Painted Star’ is ‘Meadowbrook’ x ‘Griercpy’. I am assuming that ‘Griercpy’ is griersonianum x campylocarpum. Since Don had a large number of yellow rhododendrons in his garden, I assume the pollen came from one of these as I don’t know how else he could have gotten such a yellow hybrid. Which yellow the pollen came from is up for conjecture, but I assume it was hardy fortunei x (dichroanthum x wardii) as he also had a lot of these in the garden.
TT10 – Cross 64-8 ‘Caroline’ x (hardy fortunei x ‘Loderei King George’) Pollen from Hardgrove plant. Seedling is mauve/pink, large flowers and fragrant. ‘Loderei King George’ is = (fortune x griffithianum) x griffithianum. Major size plant. The mauve (amaranth) color kills it. Discontinued 9/2015
TT45 – Cross 64-16 {(maximum x haematodes) x ‘Firemusic’} x ?. The seed parent is from either Joe Gabel or Guy Nearing, most likely Nearing as Hardgrove was very friendly with him. Open pollenated in Don Hardgrove’s garden in the spring of 1964. Seed was picked off the plant Sid Burns purchased from Hardgrove. ‘Firemusic’ is ‘Venator’ x dichroanthum. Seedling is white with pink/red picotee on the edge of the flower. Smallish flowers. Original plant was leggy but rooted cuttings grow into good looking plants until age 10, then it begins to open up. Sterile with no pollen. Flower buds are quite round and red color. Seven lobes to the flower. 2014: I picked two enormous seed pods off this and planted the seed. I have about 50 seedlings as of 6/2015 so I guess it not sterile.
Comment: 2/19 Plant is beginning to look terrible. Leggy and much die back.
TT52 = ‘Jean Marie de Montague’ x (‘Glass White’ x orbiculare) Seed from ARS seed Exchange #67/305. I don’t believe parents. Looks like a yak hybrid. Dense growing, white flower, not much different from many other yak hybrids. 5/7/16: Covered with flowers, very impressive.
TT60 – 72-58 ‘Mars’ x ‘Gill’s Crimson’. Very red flowers, but leggy. Flowers are small. Blooms quite early in the spring. Plant is 7′ high and is interesting covered with tufts of red, but is not worth propagating. Discontinued
TT64 – ‘Anne Hardgrove’ x yakushimanum. ‘Anne Hardgrove’ is ‘C.P. Raffill’ x ‘Moser’s Maroon’. The seedling picked up the legginess from ‘Anne Hardgrove’ but does hold its leaves 4 years. Pink flowers. ‘Anne Hardgrove’ blooms very late in the season. When Sid Burns saw my seedlings, he decided to force ‘Anne Hardgrove’ to bloom early in his greenhouse and use yakushimanum as the seed parent to see if the seed parent affected the offspring. It did. Discontinued 9/2015. See TT99 & TT288 for much better plants.
TT68 – Cross 71-24 ‘Helen Everitt’ x ‘Nestucca’. Large white truss.
TT71 – ‘Anne Hardgrove’ x yakushimanum. (See TT64 and TT 99 which are sister seedlings.) This is quite a lovely plant when it first blooms. It is more or less compact with vivid salmon flowers. Then it fades all the way to white by the time it is finished. Some people thank that is great. Small truss. 4/2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015. See TT99 & TT288 for much better plants.
TT76 – Cross 72-58 ‘Mars’ x ‘Gill’s Crimson’. Sister seedling of TT77 and TT60. The earliest to bloom but not worth propagating. Discontinued
TT77 – Cross 72-58 ‘Mars’ x ‘Gill’s Crimson’. Last to bloom. See TT76 and TT60. The flower is very similar to TT76 except TT77 blooms 8 or 9 days later than TT76. Not worth propagating. Discontinued
TT78 – ‘Meadowbrook’ x (‘Jean Marie de Montague’ x ‘Grosclaude’) Best new hybrid, 1984 ARS Show. Large red truss with large caylix, almost hose-in-hose. I’ve used it frequently in hybridizing. Leggy plant. Color is better than the picture indicates. Open growing plant.
‘Meado0wbrook’ = ‘Pink Everestineanum’ x ‘Mrs. C.S. Sargent’
‘Grosclaude’ = haematodes x facetum.
(facetum is also called eriogynum)
TT80 – strigillosum x metternichii. I think I received the seed from Jack Rosenthal. He was very interested in strigillosum. This is quite red. The original plant is dead but I have a few rooted cuttings that have not yet bloomed.
TT81 Truss Picture taken 4/18/21
TT81 – Cross 68-3 (adenopodum x metternichii) x degronianum AE. Sid Burns had the seed parent from Joe Gable. I had gotten the pollen parent from the West Coast as very special favor from someone, maybe Mrs. Berry. I still have the degronianum AE which is very dwarf, probably 24″ in diameter now. TT81 is a wonderful, dense, lightly indumented, compact plant that holds it leaves 3 or 4 years and is loaded with quite large, pink flowers early in the spring. It blooms with ‘Taurus’ which kills it for TT81. No one looks at TT81 when you can look at ‘Taurus’! See the following picture of the plant out of bloom.
TT81 Plant
***TT82 – Cross 74-23 ‘Helen Everitt’ x pseudochrysanthum. Large white flower, strong grower, good looking plant.
Comments: 4/20 badly damaged by fallen tree.
TT83 – Cross 81-3 (‘Glass White’ x ‘Fabia’) x ‘Phipps Yellow’. The seed parent was one of the basic crosses Hardgrove made and has a lot more color than you would expect but does have a relatively small flower. I have not noticed it flower lately so I can’t comment other than to say that I originally said it was very yellow. ‘Glass White’ is a white form of catawbiense that has no mauve tint nor will it pass the mauve tint on to progeny.
TT86 – ‘Scintillation’ x ‘Sappho’. Leggy with a lovely blotched flower. Light mauve with blotch. Roots easily. See also TT98, sister seedling. TT98 is much more impressive.
Comments:
2014: I cut TT86 down as the plant became ugly and took up an enormous amount of space.
TT87 – degronianum PF x ‘Nestucca’. (“PF” stands for Planting Fields). The degronianum is the plant purchased from Don Hardrove in 1964 and is still growing at Planting Fields. Globose white flower in a tight truss. Good foliage and good plant habit. Light indumentum. Missing top flower in truss. 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, discard Discontinued 9/2015
***TT89 – ‘Mars’ x ‘Jean Marie de Montague’. Bob Furman mentioned to me that this cross gave good reds, so I decided to try it. He was right! Several seedlings of the cross turned out to be great reds. I’ve numbered a couple. See alsoTT158, TT100 & TT97, sister seedlings. (*** dropped 11/13).
Comments:
5/25/16 Very dark red. Second place in Breeders Cup class in NY show 2017.
TT90 – ‘Vulcan’s Flame’ x (yakushimanum x ‘Mars’). ARS seed exchange seed lot# 75-534. Perfect pink truss.
Discontinued 9/2015
TT91 – This is an original Dexter plant that Sam Everitt had from Dexter. He gave cuttings of it to Nat Hess and Sid Burns and I got a cutting from Sid. Very fragrant light pink with a griffithianum look to the truss with a turned-back top petal. I informally call it ‘Sam Everitt’ and used it in several hybrids. Gets petal blight. Never registered.
***TT92 – Probably (‘Scintillation’ x ‘Inamoratta’) x Hardgrove yellow. A beautiful plant all year round with cream flowers. Named by someone else ‘Little Susie Q’. I don’t know where they got the “Little” from as it is anything but little. You take a chance when someone else names one of your plants. The following picture is TT92 plant.
TT92 plant
TT95 – yakushimanum Exbury x degronianum Planting Fields. I have many plants of this cross and I numbered this clone when I first saw it because of the foliage, which is great and the perfect white truss. I have at least five other plants from this cross that could be numbered but I don’t think the world needs another yak-like white rhododendron.
8/2015: I have 5 others which I have designated yakdeg#1, 2,3,4 & 5. They are all magnificent foliage plants. #4 & 5 have many flower buds for 2017.
TT96 – I am not sure of the parents. I have one tag on the plant that says ‘Annanouri’ open pollinated and another that says ‘C.P.Raffill’ x ‘Moser’s Maroon’ from H. Lem that I got from Nat Hess. It had to have come from H. Lem as the seed parent is not hardy on Long Island. All I can say is that it sure is red. To make things more interesting, Hardgrove also had some seedlings of ‘C.P.Raffill’ x Moser’s Maroon’ cross (one was named ‘Anne Hardgrove’) and had a lot of seedlings of the cross and Nat Hess was friendly with Hardgrove. Leggy growth habit. I have used it in hybridizing for red flowers. Late bloomer. 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015
2018:I don’t know how Hardgrove could have made the cross as the seed parent is not hardy on Long Island. I am beginning to think that H. Lem made the cross on the west coast and sent the seed to Hess who shared the seed with Hardgrove.
TT97 – ‘Mars’ x ‘The Honorable Jean Marie de Montague’. I keep forgetting to put “The Honorable” in front of “Jean Marie etc” so forgive me. See also sister seedlings TT89, TT100 and TT158. All nice reds. TT97 is difficult to root and is open growing, but it is sure red. 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015
TT 98 Bud & foliage.
TT98 – ‘Scintillation’ x ‘Sappho’. See also TT86 a sister seedling. TT98 is, to my eye, a nicer color flower, still with a blotch. Enormous truss on an enormous plant. Not for the small garden. Very vigorous grower. Won Breeders Cup at the NY Chapter show on 5/21/2017
TT99 Plant
***TT99 – ‘Anne Hardgrove’ x yakushumanum. Opens hot pink and fades to light pink. Good looking foliage. 6/2015 Bloomed first week in June and was spectacular. (‘Anne Hardgrove’ is a very late bloomer.) *** added.
‘Anne Hardgrove’ = ‘C.P.Raffill’ x ‘Moser’s Maroon’
TT100 – ‘Mars’ x ‘The Honorable Jean Marie de Montague’. As with the others, a very nice red. See also TT97, TT89 and TT158. *** removed 5/13 as it only holds 1 year’s leaves and is getting leggy. I should have this plant tested to see if it a triploid as it shows signs of polyploidy. Discontinued 9/2015, very open growing.
5/25/16 Small plants look good. Good red color.
TT101 – Cross 81-2 ‘Schlaijer Yellow’ x ‘Phipps Yellow’. ‘Schlaijker Yellow’ is a yellow seedling Dorothy Schlaijker purchased from Hardgrove in 1964. Hardgrove called it his deepest yellow and that is probably true. It suffers from a lax truss with no top flower in the truss and somewhat open growing. But for color, it is a very strong yellow. Hardgrove saw this in 1958 and set the rhododendron world on fire. It was Hardgrove’s selection H62-3: hardy fortunei x (wardii x dichroanthum). See also TT103 and TT104, sister seedlings. Picture shows truss form. Actual color is much better than shown. See description of ‘Phipps Yellow’ at beginning of this section.
5/25/16 Not much, could discard. Weak plant.
5/2/21: The color does not compare to new yellows.
TT102 – Cross 72-67 ‘Yaku Dawn’ x strigillosum. Seed from Jack Rosenthal. Deep pink, open growing. Not 100% sure of parents. A mighty strong red from a cross that is half white.
TT103 – Cross 81-2 ‘Schlaijker Yellow’ x ‘Phipps Yellow’ Good yellow, leggy. Good truss, large flower, medium yellow. See also TT101 and TT104, sister seedlings.
TT104 – ‘Schlaijker Yellow’ x ‘Phipps Yellow’. Good yellow with a large flower. I used this in many crosses but now it is gone from the garden. See Named Hybrids for info about the parents.
TT105 – Cross 81-4: 71-13 x ‘Phipps Yellow’.
71-13 = (‘Scintillation’ x ‘Inamorata’) x (Phipps Yellow Hardgrove yellow).
Hardgrove Yellow = probably hardy fortunei x (dichroanthum x wardii).
Not a bad yellow, but leggy. Original plant dead, I have a couple of rooted cuttings from it but I can’t find them, so I guess they are gone. See also my numbered seedlings: 118, 123, 126, 182, 187 and 396 which are sister seedlings.
10/2016: I just learned that a sister seedling was grown in Belgium from seed I had sent to the ARS seed exchange and named ‘ Jeanne Artois’ in Belgium. See above for picture of truss and plant growing in Arboretum Wespelaar, Belgium. If you want to see more pictures type in this URL:
http://www.arboretumwespelaar.be/Default.aspx.WPID=264&L=E&DNa=Rhododendron+%27Jeanne+Artois%2″
TT106 =TT1 x (Didox chlorops x lactium)
TT111 New growth. As you can see it REALLY GROWS. See next picture for flower.
TT111 – TT1 open pollenated. One of the very few seedlings from TT1. Good color yellow, large flower but leggy. Matures into a very large plant. See previous picture for new growth.
TT113 – Pink Carolina x Paul’s Pink Muchronulatum open pollenated. Semi deciduous with red/purple flowers. Roots easily. Somewhat attractive in early spring.
TT115 – GiGi x Debutant. Debutant is ‘Mars’ x yak, unregistered. Luminous pink, major size plant.
***TT116 – (‘Jean Marie’ x yak) x ‘Grand Slam’. Cross 96-26. Only one seed from this cross germanated. Looks like a polyploid. Pink. Looks like ‘Trudy Webster’ but is definately a seedling. The seed parent is a triploid and the pollen parent a tetraploid.
‘Grand Slam’ = ‘Trudy Webster’ x ‘Lydia’
10/3/16: John & Sally Perkins had this tested and it turns out to be a pentaploid. 4n x 3n> 5n. How do you think that happened? (Maybe the 3n produced an unreduced 3n gamet and the tetraploid produced a reduced 2n gamet. 2+3 = 5)
***TT117 – ‘Apricot Fantasy’ x ‘Martha Phipps’.
‘Apricot Fantasy’ = ‘Hotei’ x ‘Brandt’s Tropicana’. Very strong yellow. One of my best yellows. A little open growing. Sister of TT120 & TT122. *** added 5/15. Produced TT349 when crossed with Phipps yellow.
***TT118 – TT105 x TT104 =[(‘Scintillation’ x ‘Inamorata’) x [(Phipps Yellow x Hardgrove yellow)] x [(‘Schlaijker yellow’ x ‘Phipps Yellow’)]. Cross 91-59. Very large yellow. More yellow than the picture shows. Open growing. *** removed 5/2014. *** added 5/2016. See also my numbered seedlings: , 123, 126, 182, 187 & TT228 which are sister seedlings.
TT119 – ‘Mrs. Howard Phipps’ x Phipps 51. A very strong, vigorous plant with a large white truss. Phipps 51 has probably the largest truss of the Phipps hybrids and ‘Mrs. Howard Phipps’ is a very strong plant with a hot pink flower. Original plant got smacked by the 2010 drought. Color in photo is not correct. 2/2015.. 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015. It was spectacular in 2017.
TT120 – Apricot Fantasy x Martha Phipps. Sister of TT117 & TT122. Large apricot hose-in-hose flower. Discontinued 9/2015
TT121 – Anne Hardgrove x TT97. Large red flower. 5/13 especially nice. ***added 5/13 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015
TT122 – ‘Apricot Fantasy’ x ‘Martha Phipps’. Yellow. Sister of TT117 & TT120. Large flower, good color. Gets leggy as it ages. 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015
TT123– TT104 x TT105 = [(‘Scintillation’ x ‘Inamorata’) x [(Phipps Yellow x Hardgrove yellow)] x (‘Schlaijker yellow’ x ‘Phipps Yellow’). Very large velvety yellow flower. See also my numbered seedlings: 118, 123, 126, 182 & 187 which are sister seedlings. 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2016

TT104 = (‘Scintillation’ x ‘Inamorata’) x Hardgrove yellow.
Hardgrove Yellow = probably hardy fortunei x (dichroanthum x wardii).
TT105 = 71-13 x ‘Phipps Yellow’.
71-13 = (‘Scintillation’ x ‘Inamorata’) x Hardgrove yellow.
Hardgrove Yellow = probably hardy fortunei x (dichroanthum x wardii).
TT124 – ‘Margolit’ x ‘Phipps Yellow’. Round truss, good yellow. Getting leggy.
‘Margolit’ – See beginning of this Page for explanation.
TT126= TT105 x TT104
TT126 – TT105 x TT104. = [(‘Scintillation’ x ‘Inamorata’) x [(Phipps Yellow x Hardgrove yellow)] x (‘Schlaijker yellow’ x ‘Phipps Yellow’). Good yellow vigorous plant. Flower color is better than picture. See also my numbered seedlings: TT118, TT123, TT126, TT182, TT187 & TT228 which are sister seedlings.2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015 (In question).
5/26/16: Very good, no blast, no burn, large truss, medium yellow.
TT127 – ‘Apricot Fantasy’ x ‘Janet Blair’ I have not seen it in several years.
TT129 – TT97 x Unknown West Coast Red. Sharp pink.
TT130 – TT97 x West Coast Red
***TT131 – TT97 x Unknown West Coast Red. Bright red. Much blast winter of 03-04, no foliage damage. Has better color than shown in picture. Roots easily. See previous photo for truss closeup. Named Michael D. Coe.
TT97 = ‘Mars’ x ‘Jean Marie’
5/10/16: named ‘Michael D. Coe’
TT132 – TT96 x (‘Vulcan ‘x ‘Jean Marie’) Good red lax truss.
TT133 – ‘Parker’s Pink’ x ‘Martha Phipps’. Light pink, big truss. Bud blast & leaf burn winter of 03/04 but when it blooms with a full truss it is an eye catcher. Original plant has leaf burn after 2010/2011 winter. Won Breeder’s Cup at the 2012 New York Chapter early show.
4/21/15: 2015 Winter damage and leggy growth, Discontinued 9/2015 (In question).

TT238 = ‘Halfdan Lem’ x ‘Acclaim’
TT238 – ‘Halfdan Lem’ x ‘Acclaim’. Very good red, leggy 5/4/10 Original plant is looking terrible, very open growing. Original plant discard 8/2015 but rooted cutting kept for pollen if needed. This is a strange cross as the seed parent, ‘Haldan Lem’, is triploid and a triploid is not supposed to set seed unless it produces a 1N gamet and a 2N gamet. TT238 is not a triploid so the 1N gamet from ‘Halfdan Lem’ must have fused with the regular 1N gamet from ‘Acclaim’. ‘Acclaim’ is a red from Dexter and is a wide open growing plant with very large red trusses.

‘Dumper Yellow’ is probably fortunei open pollinated at Wisley Garden that Henry Dumper grew from seed. In those days Wisley would send out open pollinated seed from species thinking it was selfed. ‘Dumper yellow’ does not have pollen so I would suspect it is a hybrid.
