Helleborus x 'Walburton's Rosemary' (Walhero) aka 'Rosemary'
When
we first saw this in the UK a fin 2009 we were really excited about the
possibility of having a pink flowering companion to 'Snow White'. Like
"SW", 'Rosemary is a hybrid between H. niger and H. x hybridus. This
cross is very difficult to do (I've not managed it YET!) and the
offspring are valuable garden plants. This cross was made by
David Tristram, the breeder of the beloved 'Ivory Prince.' Like
'Snow White', ' Walburton's Rosemary' is sterile, producing no seeds,
but like her Japanese sister she certainly is not shy about
flowering!
'Snow White is in flower before Christmas here and
continues producing new blooms into late Spring. Unlike the ericsmithii
crosses which open white and age pink, 'Rosemary' opens pink and
matures to a deeper shade.
