Ginger, I like that idea!

Carolyn, I wholeheartedly agree! Originally, I had a recessive leaf female parent- the rugose Hardin's Mini was to be the momma. About 40 failed crosses later, I used the RL heart as the female in desperation (it was late August).

Thank you Nan for agreeing with me.

Carolyn, just noting that rugose describes the pleated nature of the leaf form surface and has nothing to do with PL or RL.
