Anecdotal Notes
JL cultivar from Vera Cruz Rose. Same incredible rose fragrance and size as Vera Cruz Rose. JL originally named it in honor of all the plumeria aficionados of Texas until he learned that Elizabeth Thornton had already registered one of her own seedlings with the same name. 3”. Frangipani / rose fragrance. Not a VERY strong smell but it varies with the time of day. Recommended for fragrance. Thick strong petals. After picking maintains both form and fragrance. No problems with black tip. Healthy disease free and shiny light green abscission layers are formed where the leaf petioles have been rejected. Branch diameters as much as 1 3/8". The 'twirl' is very distinctive and stays that way. The petals are very firm, almost waxy and the keeping quality is excellent. Pleasant floral scent, not its most distinctive feature. Like Vera C. Rose, same fragrance/stronger flower and better grower, blooms much better. Fades easily. Started blooming early this year still continues to pump out blooms, now on very long peduncles. Peach scent. Tall grower. Sets seed. Hawaiian Rose PHut not the JL version. It was named Hawaiian Rose by the lady it was purchased from but Plumeria Hut later learned it was not Jim Little's Hawaiian Rose and just a name the lady called it. The blooms never fully open, last one day and fade fast in the sun. Hawaiian Royal Color not Royal Hawaiian. Front is deep gold, back is solid red. 3 1/2”, good fragrance and very good keeping quality. Hard to root. Very small, very intense fragrance. Mother tree is gone. Fast rooting. Bright yellow with deep red back stripe. With high heat, a red stripe will also show on the front of the petals. Hawaiian Solar Flare intense pink pinwheel with a yellow eye. 3.5” with a sweet fragrance. It has a good keeping quality. Good grower and bloomer.
