Anecdotal Notes
Pinkish rose red with distinct yellow eye, glossy pink back with slight red band; obovate petals with rounded tip, slightly overlapped; medium texture; 2-1/2" sweet fruity scent; keeping quality good. Pinkish red, yellow center, oval petals, pointed tips. Fruity fragrance. Best for fragrance. Average tendency to fade. Tall grower with below average branching. Believed to have come from Mexico. Very easy to get started compared to Hilo Beauty. It isn't as dark red as Hilo and not quite as large. Its one real drawback is its rangy growth. Hilo Beauty is much more compact. RR has a better fragrance. Smells like Red Hots candy. Green leaves are oblanceolate with acuminate tips. Starts with a bright yellow center, which then turns red as the bloom matures. Starts out with a orangish center and then opens up to bright yellow. Cold tolerant. Fuzzy new growth. Easy to root. Sets seed.
