Elina

Elina is a strong vigorous bush with excellent dense, glossy dark green, disease-resistant foliage that acts as a foil to the huge, magnificently-formed deep cream blooms. The flowers which are often 6 inches across and have 35 petals, last particularly well when picked, and are beautiful in all stages of development from bud to full bloom, forming perfect exhibition subjects. The first flush is a little later than most other varieties, a bonus that extends the spring flowering season, and flower production is excellent.
