Nursery contributed plant descriptions

2.25 inch, semi-double medium pink with numerous dark pink spots in the upper lobe open in May. Considered one of Gable's best introductions.
Still considered one of Gable's finest, this stately late May bloomer effuses semi-double flowers colored medium pink with a darker blotch. Its spreading, dense habit and height of 3' render it excellent for use in borders.
