Bougainvillea 'Rosenka'-Pink Bush Bougainvillea
Nyctaginaceae Family

More moderately sized, this selection can be kept as a medium sized ahrub with some careful pruning.  Bracts are pink to bronze and are borne in large numbers over a long period.  This is a great performer in the low desert and its more subtle coloring is not nearly as outspoken as the red ones. 

Rosenka has a mounding spreading habit which can cover good sized areas with many months of color.
