BORN IN A MANGER
TET 25317 (No Ordinary Child x Ruler of Nations) 5.5", 34" (range of 31-37"), 4-way branching (range of 2-5), 28 buds (range of 17-47) except one year with a very bad winter when it was 16, ML to Late, instant Re (up to 30% outside in MN), Sev. Because of the many buds it is often one of the latest still blooming in mid-September. Black cherry (sometimes purple cranberry or cranberry purple when it is cool with a less pronounced watermark, going to violet purple as the day warms up); pink lavender eye; pink lavender plus ivory edge; yellow to green throat. Super hardy, very strong scape and robust grower. Gorgeous, no spots, happy in the rain.
Easily fertile both ways
