Coseytown Rosewood

Rosewood, a 2026 introduction from LeeAnn Huber's Coseytown Flowers, carries the cultivar code LeeAnn's FD179C and a pending plant patent, the PPAF designation that marks Coseytown originals. Its story is a breeder's story. Huber selected it over its own full sibling after side-by-side trials, where Rosewood won on productivity, tuber yield, stress tolerance, and vase life, the kind of head-to-head rigor that defines her published nine-trait standard. The Coseytown name is a trademarked line, and originals sell exclusively through the Greencastle, Pennsylvania farm, where this one sold out at $34.95. The flower itself is moody and distinctive: a muted muddy red face with a contrasting lavender reverse on new petals, a color combination that earns its keep in darker, more atmospheric arrangements.

Rosewood is a farm-listed formal decorative, cultivar code LeeAnn's FD179C with plant patent pending, carrying blooms around 4.5 inches on tall plants near 66 inches. The farm describes it as a cut-and-come-again mid-season bloomer, so cut it hard and often to keep it producing. At 5.5 feet it needs firm staking. Pinch once when young. What makes Rosewood notable is how it was chosen: Coseytown selected it over its full sibling after side-by-side trials, where it outperformed on productivity, tuber yield, stress tolerance, and vase life, which is why it earns a high productivity mark and a noted tuber yield. The color is its own reward, a muted muddy red with a cooler lavender reverse on new petals that gives arrangements a moody, layered depth. A Coseytown exclusive, sold out at $34.95, so order from the farm early.
