Royal Silver lives up to its regal name with globe-shaped blooms composed of thick, curling petals in a luminous blend of silver and lavender-pink. When grown as a disbud, each plant is trained to produce a single, large, exhibition-style flower perched proudly atop a robust stem. The result is a high-impact bloom that commands attention in shows and arrangements alike.
This variety is cherished for its perfectly balanced form and refined color palette, which subtly shifts under natural light. Excellent for floral competitions, cut flower displays, or standout garden specimens. Supportive staking and early disbudding will help achieve the full, commanding effect that 'Royal Silver' is known for.

Class 25b Pu, Introduced 1969
When grown as a spray, ‘Royal Silver’ shifts from solitary elegance to radiant abundance. Each stem bursts with multiple blooms in shimmering lavender-pink, the same signature hue as its disbud form but now arranged in a more natural, garden-style bouquet. The reflex incurve petals give each flower a plush, domed appearance, while the silvery highlights add dimension in sunlight.
This form is ideal for garden beds and informal arrangements, providing a generous show of color on a single plant. The spray growth habit also makes it easier to maintain and harvest without needing disbudding or staking, while still delivering the same refined appeal. ‘Royal Silver’ spray makes an excellent choice for both novice and experienced growers who want high reward with less effort.
Bloom size 8-12 cm (4"-5")
Form: Reflex Incurve (Spray)
Color: Vivid lavender-pink with silvery sheen
