Ridiculously tender, in 6a with protection it is still an annual. And it blackspots first of them all, but the color of pink is so clear and so pure it can be worth it!..................
Update, 5/12: Menard's store here in Columbus has not only THIS one, but Heirloom, Paradise, Sutter's Gold, Mojave, Arizona, Bon-Bon, Oregold, America, Love, Apollo, Gypsy...............some weird and blessed access to budwood from the mid-century and they are all blooming and yep, they are TRUE.................and yes, I bought a PROMISE..............before it blooms it looks exactly like Royal Highness, gorgeous leaves.................I will simply spray it every 12 hours.............
Always feels good to find a "friend in need"................
