Rose Нratsiinyi Tanok

Very bright purple-pink flowers of informal and reflexed shape appear very early in the season on a large and broad shrub. They start from deep crimson pointed buds and open into deep purple-pink flowers, which slowly transition to lighter purple-pink shades, showing more violet and blue tones before fading. In the center of each flower, large and prominent deep purple-red stamens adorned with bright yellow anthers add more color and contrast. A cascade of flowers in different stages simultaneously appears on the plant, and this mix of purple, pink, and violet shades creates a magnificent dance of color that takes one's breath away and enchants with its charm.
