Roselette Prettily formed deep pink flowers on a usually tall conspicuous plant. Sets some seed. (Triploid Hybrids In which an albiflora variety was crossed by an F1 of tenuifolia-Mlokosewitschi, All (1950) and all VE.)
Roselette (Saunders1950) VE. Single; cupped petals are warm pink, sometimes streaked slightly darker; fragrant. Dependable, notably free of late frost injury to flower buds, although one of the few sorts we can call Very Early (also our earliest large-bush peony). Erect stems, medium tall, light green foliage is durable all season. Excellent landscape subject and a standout in the early perennials border. Triploid, but has useable fertility
