(Saunders 1950) - Semi-double, ivory background flushed and edged purple. A twist and flare in the petals. Vigorous.

SAVAGE SPLENDOUR A fascinating blend of ivory, red and lavender blooms with petals that are uniquely twisted and turned.

SAVAGE SPLENDOUR A fascinating blend of ivory, red and lavender blooms with petals that are uniquely twisted and turned. A neat, compact bush. As with Gauguin, has great appeal for a person looking for something different. Ivory blend single.

Savage Splendor. Saunders. F1 lutea hybrid. Large single of ivory flowers, veined and edged with a deep rose and lavender. Flares are a deeper, darker rose and stamens are coarse and golden. Each petal is uniquely twisted and ruffled. Plants are rapid growers and produce many ground shoots. Stems are not particularly hardy in Wisconsin, but reliably re-grow each season producing a multitude of flowers. Best for zones 4b and warmer. (unknown x unknown). No fertility.
