One of my earliest crosses of R. 'Wizard' x R. irroratum 'Polka Dot' that is still one of my favorites today. The plant is compact growing to 4ft x 4ft with very shiny dark-green leaves. The flowers are not large, but are very lovely with shades of cream, yellow, red and with a brilliant magenta pictoee edge. 'Lynnette' blooms in March, so is one the first to show color here. I expect it to be hardy to -10 deg F because of the R. catawbience blood in R. 'Wizard'.
