Thank you for sending the plants in good condition. However, I did not recognise the flower or the colour from the photo. In the photo, the flower looks like a dahlia, but it doesn't here. What a shame, as I found it very interesting. Thank you for your response. Kind regards,

Description
Camellia ‘Manuroa Road’ is a Japanese camellia prized for its large, perfectly overlappingflowers reminiscent of dahlias. They are beautifully showcased against its dark green, glossy foliage. In a shaded acid soil bed or a large container, this evergreen bush with its very regular habit shines in late winter and spring.
Belonging to the Theaceae family, ‘Manuroa Road’ is a cultivar of Camellia japonica. It was selected in New Zealand at Takanini/Papakura by Neville Haydon; first flowering observed in 1994 and registered in 2001 with the NZ Camellia Society. It originates from a sowing of C. japonica ‘Takanini’, from which it inherits the dark red hue while offering a fuller, more regular flower.
This cultivar has a dense, upright, bushy habit and medium stature; expect approximately 1.50 m in height by 0.90 m in spread in 10 years, and up to 2–2.50 m by 1.50 m at maturity in open ground. In a pot, its dimensions often remain below 1.20 m. The large flowers (around 10–12 cm in diameter) are double, very overlapping, very dark, uniform red, with no visible stamens; they bloom from March to May. The foliage is evergreen, leathery, dark green and glossy; the ovate to elliptical, finely toothed leaves measure 6 to 10 cm long. The root system is rather shallow, fibrous and spreading: avoid compact soils and deep digging near its base. It is hardy to −12 to −15 °C in a sheltered position.
Plant Camellia ‘Manuroa Road’ in an acidic, fertile, humus-bearing soil that remains moist in summer but is well-drained, in bright partial shade and sheltered from cold winds; avoid scorching sun. In a bed, pair it with other evergreen acid-loving shrubs: Pieris ‘Forest Flame’ for its colourful spring bud burst period, Rhododendron yakushimanum 'Koichiro Wada' for its apple-blossom flowering that takes over, Japanese Azalea 'Hino-Crimson' for edging, and Sarcococca confusa for its winter fragrance, to be placed in the background. At the edge, add ferns and late hellebores to cover the ground without competing with its shallow roots.

Planting and care
Camellia japonica 'Manuroa Road' tolerates non-scorching sun in favourable climates, such as in oceanic regions. However, it will be at its best in partial shade, protected from intense sun and sheltered from strong winds. Plant it in moist, humus-bearing, acidic, and well-drained soil. Do not plant the bush too deeply; the top of the root ball should be covered by 3 cm. In winter, cover it with a 5 to 7 cm thick mulch of leaf compost and crushed bark. Beware of late frosts, which can damage the flowers and buds. During dry periods, water the bush to prevent the flower buds from dropping. It is best to plant camellias in autumn to promote good rooting and better flowering from the first year. Possible diseases are: chlorosis caused by excess lime, brown spots caused by scorching on leaves in full south exposure, sooty mould, scale insects, and vine weevils.
Camellias tolerate pot cultivation well; their root system forms a dense but not extensive network of root hairs. Annual repotting, into a slightly larger pot, is sufficient. Feed your potted camellia regularly and water it with preferably non-calcareous water. If the water is hard in your area, add a teaspoon of iron chelate to the watering water every three months, from spring to autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
