Dirr says: "deep rose, 3/4" diameter flowers, 2 to 6 together on pedicel. In my mind, the flowers may be the most handsome of all the ornamental cherries. I have seen flowers as early as late January in Athens, GA, but they usually open in February. Because of the early flowering date, buds and/or flowers may be injured if they are too far open."
