Registration name: Silitalia
Exhibition name: Dina Gee

Bred by John T. Smith (United States, 2005).

Hybrid Tea.  

Red blend.  Red upper, white reverse.  None / no fragrance.  Average diameter 4.5".  Medium, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary, high-centered bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Tall, upright.  Medium, matte, medium green foliage.  

Height: 4½' to 5' (135 to 150cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for cut flower, garden or pillar.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
