Pink Dahlias for Cutting

My regular florist that I sell to says, "pink is in for wedding this year and do I have pink dalias?" Well, I told her I would have some this year. The problem is I don't have any pink dalias, I have 64+ varieties but no pink, I'm not sure how that happend. So if anyone has a great pink dahlia they swear by please let me know. These are a few I came up with- Miss Rose Fletcher and Betty Ann. Hot pink ones are- Joy Ride and I'm a Hottie.
Thank you |

| I really like "Sandra" dark pink,lots of flowers & strong long stems. "Brushstrokes" is bright pink and another one I like is "Chilsons pride"...it produces tons of flowers that are a soft pink fading to almost white in the fall. |

Trish,
I sure wish my field grown dahlias looked like that! I can do that in my greenhouse, but not outside. I also have earwigs to deal with and tarnish bugs, and they seem to love dahlias. Yours are gorgeous! |
