Anecdotal Notes
Diana
unusual pink. Light violet petals have radiating red veins from an orange center eye. Slightly wavy velvety petals are rounded and overlapped forming a large full inflorescence. Well branched and balanced, compact. Wavy rounded pedals with a fused fuchsia-violet color permeated by spiraling red streaks flashing from an orange center. Growth habit is exceptional with balanced compact branches and full flower heads. 3" rose pink with a dark and attractive red and orange swirl from the center. Fabulous sweet fragrance. Sets seed.
