Abstract
The cultivar is characterized by its very dark green foliage and clean, rich pink bloom with prominent magenta eye. Its relatively strong growth habit, quick rooting time and continuous flowering provide for superb cuttings and also for quick recovery following wet weather conditions. Bubble Gum is very heat tolerant, and its blooms are slow to shatter and exhibit good post-harvest quality.
