More information

The coloration of Flamingo matches the pink hue of the European flamingo, and over time the edges fade to a silvery pink. The form holds for an extended period. Bred for cut flower use, but less common for that purpose than in garden cultivation. Buds are ivory, high-centered, and not highly double. Flowers appear singly or in clusters of up to 7 on long shoots. The shrub is vigorous and continuously produces new flowering shoots. Disease-resistant.

At the tips of very prickly shoots, pink, flamingo-colored flowers of defined form open. Orange-yellow buds open slowly, petal by petal. Suitable for cutting; flowers remain in a vase for a long period. In beds, the bloom period is extended, and spent flowers drop quickly. Shoots are erect yet fairly thin. Foliage is dark green and glossy.

Buds are long and pointed. Flowers are soft pink, persistent, goblet-shaped, large (10–11 cm), double (25 petals), faintly fragrant, solitary, on long, stout pedicels. Leaves are dark green, leathery, and slightly susceptible to powdery mildew. Spines are large and frequent. Bushes are erect and well-branched. Flowering is abundant. For group plantings, cut flower use, and forcing. Introduced to GBS in 1980
