Seedling #79H5-6. Has had prior distribution under the name “Dreamtime.” Parentage: ‘Pink Vanguard’ x ‘Salmon Dream’. The seed-parent is from ‘Blushing Princess’ x ‘Salmon Dream’, and it is the double dose of ‘Salmon Dream’ in the pedigree that suggested the word “dream” as part of the cultivar name. A pink, many-petaled SINGLE with three rows of guard petals. Fragrance. Carpels 3 to 4 in number, are green, smooth, and have pink stigmas. Stamens are yellow throughout. Well-developed staminodal disk with cream-colored projections. It has fertile pollen and is a prolific seeder. Red foliage color on emergence from ground. Grows to 3 feet (100 cm) or more in height with broad pointed green foliage. ‘Dreamtime’ is a very fast and vigorous grower that needs no support. Midseason bloom. An excellent garden subject as stems are strong and foliage remains in fine shape throughout the season.
