Eustoma 'Tyrol Rose'

Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 1997

Good Qualities

Very, very sturdy stem, very tall, great color, very healthy looking (unlike other pinks); Nice flower for bouquets; Excellent color and vase life.

Problems

Flowers are a little smaller than others but habit is so nice; All bloomed and were gone within 12 days; The white and blue did better in monochromatic bunches than did the rose; Disease susceptible.

Comments

This is a much better variety than any other single pink/rose I've grown; I generally don't grow single lisianthus because my customers prefer doubles but I would make exception for this one. My customers loved it; Suprised me that I got any production from these because they weren't started until mid February; Fine flower and a nice addition to any cut flower mix.
