Hybrid seedling plant in a 75mm pot. Near flowering size.

Would you like super shapely flowers in dark red? That is the goal here. Gene Crocker (Pot. Newberry Delight x Slc. Newberry Promise) has an impressive shape, colour, and a great lip. The flower of Sacramento Jewel (Slc. Tangerine Jewel x Lc. Sacramento Rose) have crazy round petals.  By combining the small stature and shape of Sacramento Jewel with the colour, form, and size of Gene Crocker will give significant potential resulting in small plants, large red flowers of outstanding shape. Boom!
