Description

JL cultivar from Vera Cruz Rose. Same incredible rose fragrance and size as Vera Cruz Rose. Tall grower.

Appearance

JL cultivar from Vera Cruz Rose. 3”. Thick strong petals. 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. Like Vera C. Fades easily. Sets seed. The blooms never fully open, last one day and fade fast in the sun. Front is deep gold, back is solid red. Hard to root. Bright yellow with deep red back stripe. With high heat, a red stripe will also show on the front of the petals.

Bloom

Started blooming early this year still continues to pump out blooms, now on very long peduncles. Good grower and bloomer.

Fragrance

Same incredible rose fragrance and size as Vera Cruz Rose. Frangipani / rose fragrance. Not a VERY strong smell but it varies with the time of day. Recommended for fragrance. After picking maintains both form and fragrance. Pleasant floral scent, not its most distinctive feature. Rose, same fragrance/stronger flower and better grower, blooms much better. Peach scent. 3 1/2”, good fragrance and very good keeping quality. Very small, very intense fragrance. 3.5” with a sweet fragrance.

Growth & Foliage

Tall grower. Mother tree is gone. Fast rooting.

Cultivation Tips

The petals are very firm, almost waxy and the keeping quality is excellent. It has a good keeping quality.

Provenance

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. 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. Hawaiian Royal Color not Royal Hawaiian. Hawaiian Solar Flare intense pink pinwheel with a yellow eye.
