    HVH: "'Sweet Pink' blooms with a giant 8-10" double flower in soft shades of light pink. The enormous flowers are presented on a stout, upward growing bush that grows to medium height. When the plant is small, the flowers are so heavy that they tend to hang downward but as the plant grows and matures the flowers are more often presented at an upward facing angle that makes for better viewing. This award-winning variety is a must for lovers of huge flowers, double flowers, or pink flowers. Available from HVH in 2011."
