    Beautiful rose-like buds open to 6-8" bright-pink flowers detailed with darker pink veining and eye on stately 4-6' stems over a long (perhaps the longest?) late-summer season... worth looking forward to! S/M PP7608

    As lovely in bud as it is in flower (they resemble rosebuds) this hybrid has ruffled bright pink flowers with darker veins and centers. This selection has one of the longest blooming periods of all the Rose Mallows. 4-6'. Thrives in a rich moist soil.
