The color strength, bloom size, and one of the references makes me highly doubt the China parent. It looks like the one reference says, a Pernetiana hybrid.

Oh, and the given ploidy also makes the water muddy on this one, too.

Very confusing.

I own the mother , 'Jersey Beauty' which grows like a weed here, and I have installed the father in clients' gardens where it thrived.....this one arrives from a small California grower in January and I fully expect it will grow like crazy here. Lovely color! John
