  • Overview

    Innovative addition to the Queeny series. Glowing, apricot blooms with a blush of lime and bright rose centers. A popular color combination suitable for market flowers and sophisticated design work. Mostly double and semidouble, 2-3 1/2" blooms with a small percentage of singles. Cut-and-come-again flower, yielding multiple cuts over the season. Compared to Benary's Giant Salmon Rose, blooms are smaller with a lighter, more subtle coloring. Color gradient gives a unique three-dimensional appearance. Previously and widely known as 'Queen Lime Orange.' Over the years, as the breeder has developed new colors in the series, he has transitioned the series name from "Queen" to "Queeny." To respect his wishes, we have updated the product names accordingly. AAS Winner.
