Not even
Lumiere, the famous candelabra from "Beauty and the Beast", could hold
a candle to the beauty of Candelabra, the 1999 AARS grandiflora winner. Set
against a torchiere of dark green, glossy foliage, the coral and orange flowers
flicker brightly. The lightly-scented grandiflora lights the garden with its
4-inch flowers with 25 petals.
Candelabra grows to a height of 4-feet -- an upright, well-balanced plant with
its colorful flowers present in large clusters. The plant is disease-resistant
which translates to easy care for the gardener. Candelabra was hybridized by
Keith Zary from a combination of Tournament of Roses and an unnamed seedling.
Bear Creek Gardens is the introducer.
