Romantic roads Originating in America, rosy trumpet flowers often bloom in groups of five to ten. The blooming period lasts from early April through June. The flowers will be a light purple-pink color when they first bloom. When the plant is flowering, most leaves fall from its branches, leaving just clusters of pink, trumpet-shaped flowers. The flowers will turn a soft pink color just before they wither.
