Gentle Persuasion™

You will fall in love with the sweetness of Gentle Persuasion™. This Hybrid Tea from Griffith Buck glows with a rich apricot, shading light toward the petal edges. Sweetly fragrant, she grows fully 4″ double high-centered, continual blooms with 25-30 petals on an upright, yet somewhat spreading bush, whose leaves start out a bronze-red and finish an olive-green. Her unique quality is the serrated red edges on the mature leaves. She is winter hardy in the midwest without protection.
