In the USA it was sold in the 1950s \u2013 1960s as \u2018Maximum Roseum\u2019. However, it is clearly not a form of <em>R<\/em>. <em>maximum<\/em>, but a distinct hybrid. Just to complicate things, there are apparently three different clones on the market under the same name.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Ponticum Roseum&#8217; grows strongly and in favourable conditions can reach 2 metres in ten years, though in Suomi winters frosts and heavy snow may check growth, keeping it much lower.<\/p>\n<p>The flowers resemble those of <em>R<\/em>. <em>ponticum <\/em>and are a pinkish lilac. The spotting on the petals is orange-brown.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Lehtipuut ja -pensaat<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron &#8216;Ponticum Roseum&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7716,"template":"","alueet":[],"kasvilajit":[1095,1923],"class_list":["post-15398","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kasvilajit-deciduous_trees_and_shrubs","kasvilajit-alppiruusut-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15398"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
