Scarlet Knight

Solid dark red flower 3-4". Elliptical moderately overlapped petals with rounded tips. Petals are dark red, with gold center. Dark red bands on reverse with white veining. Spicy clove fragrance with excellent keeping quality with high tendency to fade. Average grower with poor branching, elliptical green leaves with red edges, acute tips. We found found SK in 1989 in HI (neither of us remembers which island) and finally decided on a name and registered it 15 years later in 2004. So my history with SK is 25 years. Don't know when Wildfire was discovered and named. It's like which came first, the chicken or the egg. Due to registration, Scarlet Knight is the official name and Wildfire is an aka. It can't ever register as Wildfire.
