A hybrid between D. × burkwoodii and D. retusa, raised at Manten’s nursery, British Columbia, and put into commerce in 1953. It is a bushy evergreen shrub with very fragrant flowers resembling those of D. retusa in their colouring. Leaves oblong or narrow-obovate, retuse at the apex. It is in cultivation at Wisley and other gardens. The original clone has been named ‘Manten’.
