About Alertie
Fluffy pink 4–6" flower with broad, flat outer petals opens from a cranberry bud, then lightens to blush with a raspberry center. Sweet minty fragrance. Early. Heirloom from around 1867, but little is known about its history.
This variety has also been called Allertie or Alerty. Allertie is an uncommon woman’s name, maybe French.
