I was somewhat skeptical when I saw these hybrids listed in a catalog and later on a commercial website of a reputable establishment. Always one to add "just one more" plant to my ever-expanding gardens, I ordered two of these along with several other oriental and trumpet types. My order arrived on May 6, 2006 by Fed Ex (they deliver on Saturdays), and by 4:00 PM they were all in the ground. I have never been sorry for adding this lily. Both of the bulbs I ordered grew well, although somewhat short at about 18-20". What they lacked in height, they abundantly made up for in blooms! It is everything I had read about or seen in print. It is an appealing addition to any garden setting.

From what I've read Tiger Rose is a pink hybrid of Species: Lilium lancifolium, previously L. tigrinum a native of Korea, Japan and China. Although I've only grown it a few months it is said to reach heights of 6' with as many as 10-15 blooms on a stem. I was especially intrigued and surprised the first time I saw a bloom open. Shown below is pretty much what I saw.

This is a slightly different view close up. I had to use a bamboo stake to keep them upright: Unfortunately it is visible in this picture.
