Hey Parah,
Thought you might like to know, the winner of the 2013 end of season grey mold challenge was a Russian variety I got from Marina called Rozoviy Flamingo (heart). This plant was still standing with no sign of mold at all about three weeks after the season was over. The fruit was very nice quality, large and beautifully shaped sweet dark pink hearts in clusters of two or three. It was a huge plant though, for the amount of fruit, yards and yards of vine. I crossed it with the dwarf Al Kuffa, hoping to get the outstanding disease resistance and fruit quality in a more compact plant.
Danko was a close second behind RozFH in the challenge, not showing any sign of it very late while Kimberley and Stupice next to it were rotten with mold. I left them on purpose, just to see how long a nearby plant could withstand so many spores...
