If I were going to work on the summer ones, I think I'd try for thrip resistance first. Because of the thrip issue, I haven't grown summer glads much. Didn't realize they had no scent. From my amateur point of view, it seems like that ought to be an easy characteristic to pursue -- some of the winter-bloomers are very fragrant (Gladiolus tristis, for example -- athough you have to smell it at night).
