From AIS Bulletin #309 April 1998 Introducing CELTIC HARP (Stahly '98) TB, M, 39". Standards and falls arebright medium orange (RHS 23A), slightly lighter at tip of the tangerine beards. Very nice flowers, wide, ruffled, about 5" x 5" on excellent stalks-two or three well spaced branches plus spur and terminal, usually 8 - 11 buds. I've been working for some time for vigorous oranges in our cold country, and this one grows and blooms well without winter mulch here in Zone 5; has also done well in California. See color photo on page 66 in the October 1997 AIS Bulletin. Sdlg. # 92-13: (Sun Fire X (Orange Chariot X Barcelona)) X Esmerelda.HC '96. $35.00. Harold Stahly. |
