    The deep rose buds opening to lighter pink blossoms give an airy appearance due to the stamens and pistil which protrude several inches, as well as the whiskery look of the developing seed pods. Massed by a split rail fence, they have a charming, old-fashioned look. Self sows. Listed in an 1836 catalog. Tolerates humid heat.
