Be prepared for a show with this Jackson & Perkins exclusive. Astounding Glory stretches up to 6 feet high and 4 feet wide and is generously endowed with glorious 5-inch, deep pink double blooms arising from elegant pointed buds borne on 18-inch stems. The combination of deep pink blooms and dark green foliage provides a spectacular contrast. And the flower’s appealing, yet subtle, fragrance contributes to its allure. Fortunately, you’ll have enough of these lovely long-stemmed beauties to snip a few for your home.
It thrives in full sun and medium-moisture, slightly acidic well-drained loam. Add a layer of mulch to keep the soil moist and the roots cool in the summer. Old canes and dead wood should be removed, and the shrub should be pruned during spring. The remaining canes that cross should be trimmed about one-third in warmer climates—more in colder climates.
