Compact, very floriferous magnolia from New Zealand. Deryk Lawrence, along with his wife Nancy, developed a garden at Otamarakau, south of Te Puke. As the garden developed, 
wild magnolia seedlings came up and Deryk took them aside and lined them out to see how they flowered. One of those magnolias Deryk named after their granddaughter Roslind.
Good for small gardens.
