Wine and Roses has rosy-pink flowers that add a touch of romance when displayed against the dark glossy foliage. The foliage is much darker than that of older varieties like 'Java Red', it contrasts beautifully with the rosy-pink flowers, making for a high impact display in the garden. This variety produces copious amounts of flowers in spring and will re-bloom throughout the summer. The trumpet-like flowers are adored by hummingbirds.
