Default Re: breeding possibilities

'Rose' is both male and female fertile to some extent, I would imagine 'Pisang Mas' is at least somewhat fertile as well but I don't know off the top of my head. 'Rose' has been used rather extensively in breeding and is a good male parent. However, there is always uncertainty in the combination of the other parent plant, a generally fertile plant may be incompatible for any number of reasons with another variety.
