Shot Silk: Introduced in 1924 |
| It took a
couple of years for this one to settle in but what a show we have had ever since. It
throws out 12-15 foot canes every year and a profusion of bright pink blooms. The dark
green foliage is rarely marred by fungal problems. The first bloom is definitely
the
best with this one but it repeats with something always showing all season.
Hybridized by Hugh Dickson in a cross between 'High Dickson' seedling X 'Sunstar' U. K.
In the U.K. it is reported to get to 3' x 3'. With our climate
expect something on the order of 10-12 feet or more.
