'Cracklin Rosie' is one of the newer cane-stemmed begonias known for her beautiful leaves that are fluted and wavy. The dark bronze color is enhanced with tiny pink spots. The reverse side is dark red.

The flowers are rosey red, but not profuse. It is easy to propagate. A real winner.

B. 'Silvermist' and B. 'Salmon Rubra' are its parents.
