- Thrives in sun to light shade; prefers deep, acidic, well‑drained soil with shelter from harsh winds.
Rose Marie Magnolia (Magnolia ‘Rose Marie’) is a refined, late‑blooming hybrid that explodes with large, cup‑and‑saucer bright pink flowers carrying a soft lemon fragrance. Flowering arrives later than most magnolias and lasts up to six weeks, extending spring color and reducing frost risk. This compact, moderate‑growing small tree is an easy‑care focal point for foundations, courtyards, and mixed borders—flourishing in full sun to partial shade and rich, well‑drained, slightly acidic soil.
Plant Description
Deciduous, moderate‑growing small tree with a neat, upright habit. Deep green foliage follows the spring bloom and holds through the season for a polished, garden‑ready look.
Flowers & Fragrance
Large, exquisitely shaped, bright pink blooms (cup‑and‑saucer form) open from frost‑hardy buds and carry a pleasant lemony fragrance—excellent for cutting and close‑up display.
Bloom Time
Very late and long: blossoms begin roughly four weeks after many magnolias and continue for up to six weeks in spring, extending the season and improving reliability where late frosts occur.
Sun Requirements
Full sun to partial shade (also tolerates filtered sun). In hotter or windy exposures, provide some protection to preserve buds and flower quality.
Watering Needs
Water deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; once established, water deeply when soil becomes dry.
Soil Requirements
Provide deep, nutrient‑rich, acidic, well‑drained soil. Mulch to conserve moisture and moderate temperature; avoid water‑logged conditions and shelter from harsh winter winds.
Growth & Size
Typically reaches about 10–12 ft. tall and ~8 ft. wide, maintaining a compact footprint suited to smaller gardens and foundation placements.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 5–8.
Special Features
Late, frost‑savvy bloom window; long flowering season; fragrant, showy blossoms; generally deer and rabbit resistant; easy‑care once established.
Landscape Uses
Four‑season focal point for entries and patios; small specimen for mixed borders; anchors acid‑loving plantings with azaleas, camellias, pieris, clethra, and hydrangeas.
Care Instructions
Feed before new growth in early spring. Prune after flowering to refine structure and remove dead or damaged wood. Keep roots cool with mulch; avoid heavy pruning before bloom.
Origin & Parentage
A fantastic hybrid of ‘Daybreak’ × ‘Pink Surprise’ selected for its very late, extended bloom period and refined flower form.
