BELLECONIA™ Rose Tuberous Begonia

BELLECONIA™ ‘Rose’ is a trailing begonia with large rose-pink flowers above green foliage. Proven Winners lists an 8–12 inch height and spread and classifies this selection for part shade to shade, with spring and summer flowers and use in containers ([Proven Winners product profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/begonia/belleconia-rose-tuberous-begonia-begonia)). ### Flowers and placement Kientzler describes BELLECONIA as an in-house bred series of double-flowered, pendulous begonias for baskets and window boxes, with cascading stems covered in flowers during the season ([Kientzler BELLECONIA growing information](https://kientzler.innovaplant.com/KientzlerProductsWebSitev2020/kientzler/variety/1/120/85/1296)). The ‘Rose’ selection can spill over the edge of a hanging basket or planter. ### Identity and climate The live record uses *Begonia tuberhybrida*; Proven Winners identifies the named entry simply as *Begonia*. The named commercial form is confirmed, but these pages do not establish a more precise species-level identity, so no correction is proposed. Proven Winners lists hardiness zones 10–11; the catalog record has no zone range, which remains unresolved. ## Maintenance Place in bright shade and use a well-drained container mix. Keep the soil evenly moist while the plant is actively growing, and remove damaged growth or faded flowers when needed to maintain the display.
