Ila Mae

Ila Mae

Originating in the Fort Bragg area on the coast of California, this R. cubittii hybrid is very delicate and fragrant. Pure white flowers open in late March or early April with a bit of yellow in the throat. The peeling bark is cinnamon in color and smooth. This cultivar will grow to 6 ft. tall and 8 ft. wide in 10 years. Flowers heavily and reliably.

Hardy in zones 9 and 10

Rare Variety – This variety is difficult to find anywhere due to these reasons

These tender varieties are rare because they do not have a wide enough audience due to their lack of hardiness and are overlooked by the big growers.

Singing Tree Gardens has made these rare varieties our passion and remain committed to producing them for future generations. Currently we are the only source in the USA for these tender, FRAGRANT plants.
