(Westbourne Earthquake x unknown) Description: Lavender pink with darker violet radiating patterned eyezone, vivid green throat and quilled sepals. Sometime it patterns, sometimes it doubles, and almost always has quilled sepals. It's unpredictability and beauty makes this one interesting! Lots of blooms on wide spaced branching and fertile both ways.

There is a real Dolly Llama who paid a visit to church one year, much to the delight of the children. One side lost a VBS contest and as a result the team leader of the losing side had to give Dolly a kiss. She didn't mind a bit!
(Cupid's Cupcake x Twice as Nice) Description: Medium pink with dark grape eyezone and vivid green throat.
This double will not disappoint you with dull, or single blooms. Lots of buds and great garden performance. I'm pretty sure I have used it in the preceding years and it is fertile both ways.
It's named for a marshmallow fluff sandwich a young family member used to beg for all the time.
HEAVY METTLE BALLERINA - SEIFERT 2022, Dip, 32", 6", M, 5 br, 25 bc, Sev.

(Yankee Pinstripes x Psychedelicious) Description: Bright rose pink with sepals outlined in white and lightly streaked chartreuse throat.
Coming from these parents, i expected stripes and/or patterns, but got something different and delightful anyway. So many bright "painted lady" faces at once led to this name. With an average 55 bud count, this is a great garden plant.
Fertile both ways
I GOT BLUE BABE- SEIFERT -2022, Tet, Sev, Ere, 29", 6", 3 br, 15 bc.
So far, this is one of my bluest eyes. Very fertile both ways and pretty much non stop blooms. This is a hybridizing plant to use, and it may be too tender north of zone 6.
My cornball name reminds me of a certain 70's duo singing, I Got You Babe!
(Art Gallery Blues x Bluegrass Memories) Description: Dark violet purple with periwinkle blue eye and small chartreuse throat.
VERY LIMITED!

MAGNIFICENT BLUE PRINCE - SEIFERT 2022, Tet, 30", 5.75", M, Sev, 4 br, 23 bc.
This puts on a mid season show every year. Since it has a pretty blue eye, it reminded me of something else we have around here: our big blue boy. He's our gentle hero, keeping us safe from the mailman, Amazon drivers and a multitude of squirrels, not to mention a small yapping annoyance he's had to endure this year.
Fertile both ways.

(Emerald Starburst x Green Rainbow) Description: Cherry red with wide, triangular, vivid green throat extending onto sepals, bud builder with long bloom season.
This one attracted attention I think, because of its cheerful happy radiating colors. It's just a great performer and grower with no fuss over it. It's a long blooming variety that is an apparent bud builder with lots of scapes.
Fertile both ways.
ROSE WEARING JADE - SEIFERT 2022, Dip, 39", 7", M, Sev, 4 br, 25 bc. Tall scapes with wide spaced branching, and perfectly spaced wide opening blooms. She is a joy to grow but increases more slowly than the others here.
This one is very pod fertile, but the pollen has not been usable.
(Regency Heights X Rose Kennedy) Magenta rose with wide chartreuse throat spilling over on to sepals.
STRETCH MARKS - Seifert, 2022, Dip, 34", 5" EMre, 4br/20bc dor fragrant. Dark rose with consistent cream streaking and orange throat. (Storm Surf X Pink Stripes) Fertile both ways. Very vigorous!
