About this Camellia cultivar
A cold-hardy Camellia japonica cultivar from the April Series, 'April Rose' is valued for its rose-like double flowers and improved winter hardiness compared with many traditional japonicas. The blooms are typically rich rose-pink to deep pink and formal to rose-form in appearance, giving the plant an elegant ornamental display. As a japonica, it is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and a dense, upright to bushy habit. It is generally grown for late winter to spring flowering, especially in regions where extra cold tolerance is desirable.
