Frosted Velvet

Northern Piedmont, NC(Zone 7b)

This if one from Eric last fall. The bloom is huge, very fragrant and has stayed recurved for 4 days now....today (day4), the ribs were a pale apricot. Sorry the pic's not clearer, but it's been cloudy all week and my camera gets cranky at times. Think it's a keeper, for me, at least.

Thanks everyone! Now that you mention it Azalea, it does look like a ballerina skirt. Arlene, hoping Eric sees it too. If I am not mistaken, he said this one came from his frosted pink bed and did not bloom the first year. Wondering if it has bloomed for anyone else?

JJ, you hit the nail on the head. That one is one of the only ones I ever named that I did not see bloom. It was also out of my frosty pink bed in which Frosty Pink was the mother. I could see that the versicolor traits were very strong in this one and all I can say is its a one of a kind and I have to admit it was the only one showing this strong of a versicolor nature making me believe that perhaps it got mixed up somehow. She was the most velvety out of that cross and hence, Frosted Velvet.

Beautiful brug:)
