    This was listed as 'Rosada' with an "a" rather than 'Rosado' at the 2012 Philly Flower Show (and it won a red ribbon). However, when I google I mostly find mentions of it with the 'Rosado' spelling, so maybe the expert judges at the show just missed a typo. The flower at the show looks like other images of 'Rosado' to me.
