Royal velvet x Carmen 2011 hybrid

The very dark parent Royal Velvet was pollinated by Carmen, another deep red variety although not quite so dark. ItâÂÂs not surprising then that the offspring looks like this - this one is predictable, but still very nice. I have several dozen growing in the garden. ItâÂÂs good to have a lot to give as presents - they always go down well. Another good thing is that these are 2011 seedlings - it only took 2 years for a few pioneers to bloom. Hopefully there will be a real show next year. There is only one other flowering at the moment, and this is not entirely dark and has pale streaks in the petals.
