Florence Straton Blush

A blush-pink sport of 'Florence Stratton' with some solid pink petals — retaining the parent's late-flowering character and formal to rose-form double shape.
Originated by J.K. Blanchard of North Carolina as a sport of 'Florence Stratton,' this cultivar shifts the parent's color to blush pink with some petals displaying solid pink — creating a subtle variation within each bloom. The formal to rose-form double flowers are medium to large, with plant and flower characteristics otherwise matching the parent. Late flowering extends the season. Listed locally as 'Florence Straton Blush' and registered as 'Florence Stratton Blush.' Source: International Camellia Register.
