adembenemende pioenroos. Een buitenste rij lichtroze bloembladen

Upright stems with lateral buds extending the blooming season. Mid-season bloomer. Height of 80 cm. A true classic!
(+6) Magnifique japonaise aux couleurs contrastées! Grande fleur dont les pétales de garde d'un rose très pâle, presque blanc, forment un magnifique contraste avec le centre plumeux d'où émane un mélange de différentes teintes de rose et du blanc. Tiges érigées portant des bourgeons latéraux prolongeant la floraison. Floraison mi-saison. Hauteur : 80 cm. Un grand classique !
