Since many years I use also the magnificent Moss-rose Cristata in my trials. With sufficient care it is possible to get some pollen from the densely packed fragrant blooms. A flesh-pink seedling of Druschki X Cristata reminds very much of the pollen parent, but repeats little. Never, however, could I pollinate the blooms of Cristata successfully. I was therefore very surprised to find last autumn 2 Cristata plants with a number of red hips. These were collected and the seeds should have been sawn in November. But, alas! When cut open, the hips were totally empty, there was not a single seed in them. I had a similar experience with a Rosa rubiginosa some years ago.
