the undesired trait - always dropping a blossom or two
Zolotoe Serdtse has the trait of dropping a flower or two in pretty well every cluster. This is not a happy trait if you are using the plant as the mother in a cross... lots of chance your chosen flower will be the one rejected. Well, it turns out that this trait was passed on to the F1 crosses Zosbe and Zosis.
Picture is of Zosbe cluster with the rejected blossom on the left, turning yellow at the 'elbow' on the stem... it will fall in a day or two.
