About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia sasanqua 'Rosea' is a pink-flowering sasanqua camellia, likely corresponding to the historic cultivar often listed as 'Rosea Plena'. It is valued for its soft rose-pink double blooms produced in the sasanqua season, typically earlier than japonica camellias. The flowers appear full and layered, with a formal to neatly double presentation, and are complemented by the small, glossy evergreen foliage typical of Camellia sasanqua. As a sasanqua, it is generally used as a versatile garden shrub or hedge plant with a graceful, somewhat upright to bushy habit.
