Description: For those chomping at the bit each spring, 'Roselette' is prized
for its early blooms that usher in the season of full size peonies. Each warm pink
bloom is cupped and crinkled, consisting of nine or ten petals with occasional
hairline streaks of cool red running their length along vein lines. A feather flare of
light pink is evident on the backside of the petals. Erect stems hold blooms high above the bush. Mature blooms remain attractive withstanding early spring winds. Light green foliage is dense and, if Roselette is well situated and watered, durable all season. Establishes and increases stem count quickly. Recipient of the Award of Landscape Merit for its superior landscape qualities and a great way to usher peony season in.
