Gentle Giant™

2006 Intro

(cv. WEKrigoyelo) PPAF

BIG monstrous buds & blossoms of rich pink (not too gaudy nor too pale) have an inner glow of golden yellow.  SUPER broad round petals lend a classical flower form, slowly spiraling open from pin-point centers to full plentiful pulchritude.  LARGE luxurious leaves of unusual light green color dress the bushy plant, perfectly complimenting the radiant pink blooms.  LONG stems are perfect for bouquets…but it won’t take many of these big beauties to fill a vase.
