Orange-pink Shrub.

Medium, bushy. Medium, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.
Growing:
USDA zone 6b through 9b (default). Can be used for garden or landscape. Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.

In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.

Plant closely resembles 'Carefree Beauty', but flower is much more double and deeper pink.

Notes:
Recent DNA analysis has shown that 'Xanadu' is the result of self-pollination by 'Carefree Beauty'.
