Smoke Rings™

2011 Intro

(cv. WEKsaclaego) PPAF

There’s no other Mini with a color like this.  Shapely little buds start off a warm melon orange-yellow color set against a mound of clean, lush, deep-green leaves.  As the buds swirl open, a most surprising hue of smoky purple begins to blush at the edge of each petal, lending a mysterious effect of orange ‘ringed’ with smoke.  This little Mini says ‘Come see me’ whether it’s in a patio pot or tucked into the garden border.  Makes a great tree rose, too.
