This is 44-T, an unregistered plant from Harald Fawkner. I’m starting to like it. It’s a hybrid with very sturdy stems and has large flowers.

Féerie, a hybrid with P. peregrina, bred by Cayeux, unregistered, although some offspring is. Upright growth, looks good.

Ha Koen, lijkt behoorlijk veel op wat ik van Harald heb gekregen als 34Q. Maar jouw loof heeft veel duidelijker het uiterlijk van andere peregrina-hybriden zoals de Corals. Ben het met je eens, Japs met zwaardere substantie zoals deze hybriden zijn erg mooi.
