JUDY'S PENTHOUSE DOUBLE
1999 Introduction.
Hybridized by Bob Schwarz
38" M 7" - ivory yellow - v.fr.- Double 95%; Double branched with 20 buds. Diploid.
JUDY'S PENTHOUSE DOUBLE is a tall spectacular soft yellow double that is a real head turner. Everybody who comes into the garden loves it, but because I want to create a reputation for Unusual Forms, I was loath to introduce it. Judy Rocco, who is the "Judy" in the name, loved the plant and every time she saw it she urged me to "let it out". The garden name of this flower was PENTHOUSE DOUBLE, because of it's height. When Judy became ill, however, I decided to introduce the flower and name it for her. The original garden name for JUDY'S PENTHOUSE DOUBLE was DOUBLE BRIDAL BOUQUET because each blossom looks like a small bouquet that a bride's maid might carry. The blossom lasts a long time off the scape, and I wonder if anyone will ever use it for that purpose.
