Autumnalis Rosea is a pink-flowered small bushy ornamental cherry tree, with light pink semi-double blossoms.
Autumnalis Rosea is named for its unusual flowering habit - flowering sometimes starts in late autumn and continues intermittently through until spring, providing colour in the depths of winter. Although the tree is never laden with blossom in the way some other ornamental cherries are, the exceptionally long flowering period, at a time when not much else is in bloom, makes Autumnalis Rosea an excellent choice for winter interest.

The flowering cherries offer perhaps the most beautiful and attractive blossom of all tree species. They are usually cold-hardy and disease-resistant, and have some tolerance of poor soils including clay or chalk soils.
There is a considerable choice of size and form, from small compact trees which will suit the smaller garden, to weeping forms, columnar (fastigiate) forms, and large vigorous trees suitable for open spaces. However all flowering cherries are best when planted in a sheltered situation, protected from strong winds, so that the blossom will be as long-lasting as possible.
The flowering cherry season usually lasts from late March to early May - about 6 weeks - although some varieties flower even earlier. The UK Royal Horticultural Society classifies flowering cherries as early-season (late March to early April), mid-season (mid-April to late April), or late-season (late April and into early May). Individual varieties are typically in flower for about 2 weeks.
