New 2008 Rose Seedlings
- Red
Mini - Code named "L198-1". Clean and possibly with good form. It is from a cross of
J29-4 X 'Caliente'. This was a crossed that was made repeatedly and
produced more than 1,000 seedlings.
- Red Mini vs.
Miniflora - Code named "L198-2". Similar to the sister
seedling above but bigger.
- Another
Red Mini (might be a miniflora) - Code named "L198-3". A
sister seedling to the above seedling that I think I like better.
- Red
Miniflora - "L198-4". Sister to above, with a bit larger
blooms.
- Warm
Apricot Shrub - Code named "L91-2". This one is
special. It is very clean, has large blooms and moderate

2008 Hulthemia Photos
- Generations
of Petals - Here you can follow the "improvement" of the
blotch in generations of repeat blooming hulthemias. This table with
be updated as generations are added.
- New
6th generation hulthemia mini - This one should have a very distinctive
blotch as it matures. This is one of the darkest blotches so far among the new
seedlings in 2008. Because of its excellent blotch, it was used
immediately in crosses as a pollen parent in 2008.
- Pink with
Dark Blotch Single Hulthemia - This is probably the best of 2008.
A very late bloomer. Bloomed for the first time on 6-27-08. It
is from a cross of J137-5 X KH2 ("KH2"
was the designation that I gave to "mixed 2007 hulthemia seedling
pollen", where the pollen from the best 2007 hulthemia seedlings was
mixed and used to pollinate other hulthemias to hopefully improve fertility
and hip "take").
- Cream
Mini Hulthemia - Code named "L61". This is perhaps the
most floriferous of the hulthemia seedlings from this year. Blooms
only last two days, so the display is not as good as it could be.
- Rich
Pink Hulthemia - Code named "L154-1". This one has only
a small blotch, but will be kept because of its great long lasting
color. It is from a cross of 'Marmalade Skies' X 'Baby Love' X "Jamore"
(a Peter James hulthemia).
- Pink/White
Striped Hulthemia - Code named "L180-1". My
daughter suggested that I try crossing the hulthemias with some of the
striped roses. This is one of the better ones from this year.
- Pink
Hulthemia - Code named "L226-1". This one shows sort of
bands of color radiating out from the center.
- Light
Apricot Hulthemia - Code named "L83-1". This is one of
my favorite hulthemias from this year.
- Dark
Pink Hulthemia with Dark Blotch - Code named "L98-1".
This is from a cross of {[('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X ('Midnight Blue' X 'Baby Love')} X "Jamore" (a
Peter James Hulthemia).
- Pink
Hulthemia - Code named "L99-1". This is one of the first
repeat blooming hulthemias from the H65-2 line.
Some 2008 Photos of 2007 Hulthemias
- Light
Pink Hulthemia - Code named "K201". This was the best
from 2007 and is still looking good and is extremely floriferous.
- Yellow
and Pink Sisters - Code named "K211-1" and
"K211-2". These are from the same cross, but very different
in coloring. The yellow one is quite fragrant.
- Yellow
single mini hulthemia - Code named "K34-1". This is a
fertile seed parent that will be used in future crosses.
- Yellow
Hulthemia - Code named "K224-1". This one has attracted
a honey bee.

2007 Rose Seedlings
- Cream
and Pink Striped Shrub - Code name "K129-2". Blooms are medium sized to somewhat large and
are fragrant. It is from a cross of {[('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X ('Midnight Blue' X 'Baby Love')} X [('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X [('Stainless Steel' X 'Purple Tiger') X 'Baby
Love'].
- Light Coral Orange
Floribunda - This is a classic exhibition form type rose. It is
from a cross of [('Lynn Anderson' X
'Tournament of Roses') X ('Roller Coaster' X 'Hot Tamale')] X [('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X 'Kardinal'].
- Yellow
Floribunda - Has somewhat informal, though darker yellow blooms.
From a cross of H79-3 X I206.
- Yellow-Orange
Blend Miniflora - This seedling may have good form. It is from a
cross of 'Pearl Sanford' X I206.
- Orange
Stripe Shrub - This seedling has good holding power on the color.
Most orange seedlings seem to fade rather quickly, but not this one.
It is from a cross of 'Fourth of July' X {('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X [('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X ('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love')]}.

New 2007 Hulthemia Seedlings
- Yellow Mini
Hulthemia - This one is a mini and has an orange blotch with the same
color on the tips of the petals. It is a 4th generation hulthemia and
came from a cross of <{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X [('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X ('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love')]> X I89-2.
- Light
Pink Hulthemia Shrub - This is a 5th generation hulthemia and is the
best of 2007.
The coloring here provides a better contrast to highlight the blotch.
It is from a cross of J93-3 X I89-2 (each of these seedlings has their full
parentage listed below).
- Cream
Hulthemia Shrub - This seedling resulted from a cross of I89-1, a
fertile sister seedling of I89-2 noted below, crossed with I166, a double
back cross of 'Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love'. Notation is then as follows: {[('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X 'Persian Sunset'} X {('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X [('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X ('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love')]}.
- Bright
Yellow Orange Miniflora - This has hulthemia "blood", but
lacks any evident blotch. It might be "covered up" with a
more dominant central yellow "eye". It is from a cross of <{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X 'Baby Love'> X {[('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X 'Persian Sunset'}. You can really see the bright
coloring of 'Persian Sunset' in this one.
- Dark
Pink Hulthemia Shrub - This is a 5th generation hulthemia and this bloom
is from the first flush. It holds the bloom color well with slight
fade. Blotch would be better noticed if the petal color were
lighter. It came from a cross of J93-6 (a sister seedling of J93-3
listed below) X I89-2.
- Creamy
White Hulthemia Shrub - This too, is a 5th generation hulthemia.
With maturity it is expected that the blotch will become darker.
- Orange/Yellow
Blend Hulthemia - This one has the brightest colors to date. It
has clean glossy foliage.
- Cream Mini
Hulthemia - This is a true miniature, with a nice compact bushy plant
habit. Though the blotch is small, this one appears to be fertile as a
seed parent, so will be used in further breeding. Parentage is <{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]} X
'Baby Love'> X I89-2.
- Pink
Mini
Hulthemia - This also is a 5th generation hulthemia. It appears
quite clean and petite. The color is not exciting, but the blotch size
is one of the largest that I have seen relative to the overall petal
size. It is from a cross of <{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X [('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X ('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love')]> X I89-2.
- Pink
Hulthemia Shrub - Here is still another 5th generation hulthemia.
The hulthemia blotch is almost lost in the white central eye.
- Yellow
Hulthemia - This is only a 2nd generation hulthemia, but it is only once
blooming. Though it is not a new seedling this year, but is a 4
year old seedling, it only bloomed for the first time this year. It
was used in crosses this year to try to get repeat blooming in those bright
colors. It is from a direct cross with 'Tigris' as the seed parent
and [('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain') X 'Henry Fonda'] as the pollen
parent.
- Potpourri
of Hulthemia Petals - The blotch on these is less pronounced because
this photo was taken on Jun 21st, after a spell of very hot
weather. The blotch tends to lighten in the heat.

2006 Seedlings
- A bright
red 'Home Run' seedling: J76-3
- A nice red floriferous shrub with bright yellow stamens, coming from a cross of ('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X 'Home Run'.
- A
pink single shrub: J100-2
- The cross appears exactly as the one above, but the mother was a sister
seedling to the mother in the above cross. The cross is therefore, ('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X 'Home Run'.
- Floriferous
fuchsia/white striped climber: J29-1
- It resulted
from a cross of a non-descript cream colored single mini with a purple/white
stripe climber seedling. Parentage is <{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X 'Baby Love'> X seedling.
- Yellow/Orange
Blend Miniflora: J125 - Coming from a cross of an open pollinated
seedling (probably a "self" seedling) of the same non-descript
cream colored mini above by unknown.
- Light
Yellow Hulthemia with Dark Red Blotch: J137-2
- A fourth generation hulthemia. This is the best
hulthemia from 2006, from a cross of {[('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X ('Geisha' X 'Baby Love'} X either G34 or I89-2 (see their
parentages below under "Earlier Hulthemias").
- Creamy
Hulthemia: J93-3
- Another fourth generation hulthemia, its blotch lightens considerably during the heat of
summer. It is from a cross of {[('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X ('Midnight Blue' X 'Baby Love')} X <{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X 'Tiggle'>.
- Single
Yellow Mini Hulthemia: J10-1
- Still another fourth generation repeat blooming hulthemia, from a cross of <{'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X ('Geisha' X 'Baby Love')> X {[('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X 'Persian Sunset'}.
- Orange
Shrub: J105 -
A glossy shrub with orange single blooms with creamy white eyes. It came
from a cross of ('Marmalade Skies' X
'Baby Love') X 'Space Odyssey'.

Earlier Hulthemia Seedlings
- Alpha Repeat Blooming
Hulthemia: G34 - From 2003, this is my first ever repeat blooming hulthemia from a cross of {'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X 'Tiggle'. Note, 'Tiggle' is a
Chris Warner seedling that was an important breakthrough in hulthemia
breeding. It is quite clean, which is unusual for hulthemias and
resulted from a cross of 'Tigris' X 'Baby Love'.
- Yellow Hulthemia with Red
Blotch H65-1 - From 2004, a non-repeat blooming hulthemia from a cross of 'Tigris' X [('Tobo' X
'Singin' in the Rain') X
'Henry Fonda']}.
- Beta
Repeat Blooming Hulthemia: I89-2
- A 2005 seedling, is my second line of repeat blooming hulthemias with petals showing the red
blotch, from a cross of [('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby') X
'Midnight Blue'] X 'Persian Sunset' (a Mr. Ralph Moore seedling), it really
has too many petals to appreciate the blotch.
- I89-2 petals -
When the petals are removed the blotch can be better seen.
- I84 petals
- This is a 2005, non-repeat blooming hulthemia, that also has too many
petals to see the blotch unless the petals are removed. Its pollen parent
was also 'Persian Sunset'.
- Tigris
Seedling - From 2004, an open pollinated cross, possibly with ('Tobo' X 'Singin'
in the Rain') X 'Henry Fonda'. It is only 4 months old in this photo
and repeat blooms very freely. Unfortunately, this seedling died in
the first year, probably from some genetic incompatibility.
