JT and Arlene, here are picture comparisons of Pink Beauty and Rosemond. The picture on left is suppose to be Rosemond from Hardings nursery!! Center photo is Kirchner-Abel's Rosemond and the photo on right is the Pink Beauty which you got from me. The orgin of my plant is Hodkins in France.
Barb, thanks so much. mine definitely looks like pink beauty!!!!!! (and i think i like lbj's rosamond better than the other)
Arlene, now I can see why it is one of your favorites. My cutting is coming along very nicely. I know it will be awhile, but it will be well worth the wait.
They are slow to root. Mine have been slow to bloom this year. It is still one of my favorite pinks--and Butterfly.
WLL, go ahead and osmocote/fertilize it!! not super, but some, if you haven't. glad your cutting is coming along. it is a great plant. guess i've said that enough???lol
I'm really anxious to see mine bloom now that I know for sure what it is. Such great color.
Geez, I know what it is, I just wasn't sure which one it would look like. I'm still tired from staying up late last night. :-)

So Barb, the pink beauty is the one with the long, fat calyx?
The Harding Rosemond looks so light pink.
Kell, yes the buds and flowers are huge. And yes, Hardings' is very light pink-- Has anyone ordered this from her, if so, what is the color?
Unfortunately Barb, I did not get my order from them. Sad but true! Or I would be in brug heaven by now........LOL!!
Thanks Barbara.I agree that it's slow to bloom but well worth the wait.
barb, i forgot you posted and was getting confused again. pink beauty, a match!
I am so confused.
and that is the truth

No, my pale one is the Rosabelle.
I'm confused again.
I'm so confused I can't tell pink from white anymore.
OK I was the most confused. Ignore my comment up there.......... oh..I will edit it
Well, I'm pretty sure mine is Pink Beauty. I love this plant and mine have no problem rooting. Pretty fast, actually.
same here brugie. the flower edges just started rolling back with this flush. i love mine and it roots in a heart beat!
