Breeder's notes:
Strawberry Romance is a phototropic exhibition hybrid tea that stays on the bush a long time and continues to grow in size. It's color is a deep pink with a light (sometimes yellowish) reverse in the bud stage that changes in the sun to a medium pink and finally an orangish pink when it is fully mature. It is not uncommon to see two blooms with different colors on the same bush.
