▶️ It exhibits an upright, bushy growth habit, typically reaching a mature height of 8-10 feet (2.4-3 meters) and a spread of 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters).
The foliage consists of lustrous, dark green, ovate to elliptic leaves, measuring 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in length, with finely serrated margins and a leathery texture that provides year-round interest.
The plant produces an abundance of large, fully double flowers, approximately 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) in diameter, featuring soft to medium pink petals arranged in layered, ruffled forms resembling formal roses.
These blooms appear profusely from mid-winter to early spring, often in clusters atop the branches, attracting pollinators and adding vibrant color to otherwise dormant landscapes.
For optimal growth, it thrives in partial shade with morning sun and afternoon protection, in consistently moist, well-drained, acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5), and benefits from mulch to retain moisture.
