>> Marinka
1902 Rozaine-Boucharlat (FR)
(data by CKL*)
Trailer, Single
(Note: See "About the raiser" at the end of the page)
Even 100 years after its introduction, Marinka is still a yardstick against which other hanging cultivars are measured.
The red flower, whose corolla is slightly darker, reminds me of Bordeaux wine. It has a unique inverted-egg shape at first, then open to hold sepals just below the horizontal. Foliage is medium green.
I love Marinka. It is self-branching, free-flowering and easy to grow. It is also relatively heat-tolerant. I hope Marinka is more widely cultivated in Japan.

About the raiser:
In July 2011, I received an e-mail from Prague, Czech Republic, that says Marinka was raised by Dr. Pike in Czech, 1890 and named after his daughter Mary and that the Rozaine-Boucharlat had popularized the cultivar.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the e-mail sender for the valuable information.
* CKL: See notes in the Main gallery Index.
