Grainger's Antique Rose - Rosebud Pelargonium (Geranium) Plant - 6cm Pot

Grainger's Antique Rose produces truly rosebud-like soft pink flowers. Originally grown in Canada this variety produces dense heads throughout the season and is a new addition to our collection.

Rosebud Pelargonium first appeared by a spontaneous mutation around 1850.  Swiftly gaining popularity the flowers were often used for floral arrangements as well as buttonholes. They are a type of Zonal Pelargoniums (Geraniums) which have a bushy habit and fleshy stems.  After falling out of fashion for a while the Rosebud varieties seem to be picking up in popularity once again with some  interesting developments happening hybridisers.
