"Rose Fortune" might be a more accurate name as far as the color goes. This is perfect for Port Townsend preferring lean well-drained soils, lots of sun, little fertilizer or water and a tendency to laugh disdainfully at foraging deer. Blooms June until frost to the delight of Hummingbirds. PP11816
