Den. helix x strebloceras
This is an unregistered primary hybrid. I can't locate any name associated with the cross and the grower I purchased it from got it from overseas so I don't have anything to go on.
It is gorgeous and a prolific bloomer. It is huge though with each spike and making the canes about 5' tall. Mine has 3 blooming canes this year with a total of 50 blooms. Too bad that it bloomed too early for the May show.
Even though the blooms last a long time (these have been blooming for over a month) they take awhile to develop. It was still developing and opening for the last show in March. It took a blue ribbon but not pulled for AOS.
Next year if I can double the blooms, it should get pulled for judging. I LOVE It!
I'm thinking about registering it myself with RHS since I can't find the breeder.
