Jewel of the Night from Royal Colors. A smaller flowered deep red. I have mixed feelings about this cultivar. The color is intense but as is often the case with dark reds, the massive amounts of pollen has badly stained the blooms. 24 hrs after the bloom opens the lower two petals are yellow, and the pollen is very sticky. It can't really be blown off or brushed off. Excessive pollen staining is just a pet peeve of mine. If you are trying to hybridize, lots of sticky pollen is a good thing.
