Hmmmmmmmmm....

Nowhere in all these writings MY camellia is mentioned. "Bob Hope'.
I think it has an amazingly beautiful bloom. It IS an old-timer, though.

Dug through my notes:

The "Bob Hope" camellia was developed in the USA in 1972.
It is the darkest of all the reds.
Will grow 6'-8' tall and wide.
Best propagated by air-layering.

Earlier flower obtained through Japanese Species C. Sasangue.

The Bob Hope is from a cross of: C. Japonica X Saluensis and Reticulatus.

That is all it says on my little note paper. Cant explain any of it to you....
I am sure Googling would provide more info.
