'Holden' has a nice, compact plant habit, and beautiful flowers. The books all say that 'Holden's' flowers are rose red, but I would just call them pink. This plant was purchased in Spring 2000 at the ARS Ann Arbor chapter's plant sale. I have another 'Holden' I purchased a few weeks earlier at Kmart.
