Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza

Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza.  Smithers.  1992.  Rockii x suffruticosa hybrid.   Very large, highly ruffled lavender-pink flowers with a cream base.  Typical dark ‘rockii’ flares are found at the base of the petals.  Flowers are semi-double, but the petal configuration makes for a very full bloom.  Plants are floriferous and present the blooms upward and outward.  Stem hardiness in our climate is very good.  This plant can be expected to acquire a height of 4 feet after 10 years and an equal width in that time.  Outstanding!  (Rock’s Variety x Kamata Fuji).  Easily fertile both ways. Ships in late September to mid-October.  AGE: Field-grown, 3+ year old graft or division from larger plants – our choice of available plant material upon harvest.
