Double Tulips (Early) - Rose Tulips
Ranked #6,007 in Home & Garden, #74,680 overall
The earlier flowering cousins of Double Late Tulips, Double Early Tulips appear from early to mid April. They also have shorter stronger stems (12" 30cm) than their cousins, which are more able to support these huge double peony flowers, especially in wind. They don't like the cold though, and are only suitable or US zones 3 to 7.
Like the Late Doubles, their flowers are long-lasting, large (4"/10cm when open) and double, meaning they have more than the six petals. Some are fragrant. All force well, and they flower at more or less the same time as Single Early Tulips, Greigii Tulips, Fosteriana Tulips, Kaufmanniana Tulips, and some Species Tulips/Botanical Tulips.
Double Late Tulips are all are related to Tulip Murillo, a pink double tulip registered in 1860.
