Default Determing need for rest

Greetings my fellow orchid friends,

When it comes to species it's no problem to figure out which needs a winter rest and which don't; I have books. I keep them misted on occasion so they don't dry out completely and get nice flowers from most in the spring. My question concerns hybrids. If it's a nobile type hybrid, yes it gets rested. How about others? How do you determine which ones need to be rested?

My favorite genus are bulbos and dens. Mostly because there are some real odd balls in there.

Thanks in advance for any help ,
Randy
