A Japanese variety with conspicuous flowers of an unusual hue of salmon-pink and nicely contrasting intensely yellow anthers. Flowers are almost round, 8-12 cm across and are mainly composed of 8 tepals, although spring flowers on old wood can have much more. It blooms in May-June and, if trimmed, again in August-September. It grows 2m high and attaches itself to the support with leaf tendrils. Useful for growing on trellises, poles and other garden supports. It can climb up natural supports, e.g. deciduous and coniferous bushes or dwarf shrubs that don’t require hard pruning.
