Emerald Rubies glows with gemstone brilliance, pairing cool green tones with rich jewel-like accents. The large 8″ blooms open in a creamy yellow-green base, set ablaze by a bold violet-lavender eye that radiates outward. A luminous green throat intensifies the glow, while the plum-colored edge frames each petal in regal contrast. Its wide, fragrant flowers carry both refinement and drama, creating a striking garden presence. Strong 34″ scapes bear 26 buds on 4-way branching, offering both stature and steady bloom production. As a rebloomer, Emerald Rubies continues its show across the season, keeping its jeweled display alive from early summer through encore flushes.
