EYECONIC™ PINK LEMONADE

Photo from Conard-Pyle/Star Roses

‘SPRolempink’
Type: Hybrid Hulthemia

Eyeconic™ Pink Lemonade is light pink to melon rose with a darker red ring surrounding the inside of the petal that is typical of the Hulthemia hybrids.  The bud form is small, ovoid open melon-pink with a red ring maturing to shell pink with the red turning to a purplish eye.  The medium size bloom is cuplike with an average of 8-10 petals, 3 ½ “ in diameter.  The plant is prolific and blooms continuously for months with blooms in cluster of five blooms per stem with dark green, very glossy foliage.  It is a breakthrough rose, coming from a breeder, Jim Sproul who has been working more than 15 years on Hulthemia hybrids.


Eyeconic Pink Lemonade has an excellent habit and self-cleaning.  The plant is compact, bushy, approximately 3 ft. tall by 3 ft. wide.  This ultra-vigorous shrub is a carefree addition to any garden.  Unhappily, there is no fragrance.


Roses are easy plants to grow contrary to popular belief. Why do you think Roses have been around for millions of years?  All they need are food, water and sunlight.  Just like you and me.
