A late flowered Azalea raised by Lieven De Waele and Magda Da Baerdemaeker in Belgium, selected as a branch sport from 'Rosa'.
Hose-in-hose flowers with narrow corolla lobes, deep pink with white margins. I bought it without seeing the flower so this was a surprise! I can't find a reference to it in the International Rhododendron Register but Promesse de Fleurs in Eire say: "A variety of Japanese azalea that is characterized by its late, unusual, bicoloured flowering in June: each petal on its double flowers is adorned with a wide, dark pink central area washed with light pink, surrounded by a white border. This dense, spreading shrub has dark green, evergreen foliage, which remains decorative even in winter." 'Rosa' is an Kurume azalea of unknown parentage with pink hose in hose flowers. |
