    Thanks Karl. By 1965 Modern Roses 6 were showing 'Morning Stars' as "recurrent bloom"

    Patricia,
    Back in the day, I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how two recurrent varieties could produce a non-recurrent descendent. Then I learned that 'Morning Stars' is recurrent. Oh, well.
