Victoria Lincoln
In 1931, Saunders reported its coloration as “very near ‘Hope’ but lighter.” My plant is very young and so far it has only produced single flowers with about 10 petals and a somewhat irregular shape. However, the APS website states “double when established” so I think I will see a different flower form in the future.
This flower looks very similar to my ‘Lotus Bloom’ which comes from the same cross so I need to look at these two more closely in the future to determine if they are truly different plants.
