Dark red Shrub.
Registration name: Ponark
Exhibition name: After Dark

Bred by Ray Ponton (United States, 2005).

Shrub.  

Dark red.  None to mild fragrance.  12 to 16 petals.  Average diameter 3.5".  Medium, semi-double (9-16 petals), borne mostly solitary bloom form.  Occasional repeat later in the season.  

Medium, upright.  Medium, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: up to 4' (up to 120cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for cut flower, garden, landscape, shrub or specimen.  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.  

Wine colored canes.
