Maryland Rose Snapdragon

Maryland Rose is a tall, upright snapdragon offered for cut-flower production, with flower spikes in the breeder’s Rose color selection on sturdy stems. PanAmerican Seed classifies it in Groups 1 and 2 and lists 39–60-inch stems, positioning it for cool-season crops in greenhouses, high tunnels, or a sunny garden. See [PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/057800892004669/maryland-rose-snapdragon/) for this cultivar’s production details and [University of Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/snapdragon) for garden-care guidance. ## Garden use The upright spikes bring vertical color to mixed borders and can be cut for arrangements. The breeder lists Maryland Rose among its cut-flower snapdragons and describes clean stems with well-defined spikes. Its group classification is useful when planning a cool-season planting; flowering and stem quality depend on local light and temperature. ## Growing conditions Choose full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Snapdragons generally perform best in cooler weather; warm conditions can shorten their useful season. Water consistently while plants establish and during dry weather, while avoiding persistently saturated soil. The listed stem length is a cut-flower measurement and may vary with growing conditions. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower spikes to encourage further flowering and keep plants tidy. Because these are tall-stemmed snapdragons, provide support if stems lean or the site is exposed.
