WALZ Freule 
WALZ Hoorn 
The long bright flowers and somewhat stiff trailing growth make this a superb hanging basket fuchsia. Needs pinching. Regarding the capitalisation of the prefix, the breeder, Henk Waldenmaier states:
“Until 2001, all my cultivars bore the name prefix WALZ. WALZ is an acronym composed of the first letters of the surnames of the grandparents of my children. It must therefore use all capital letters and be written together.”
Tube: Salmon rose, long, slender and tapered.
Sepals: Salmon rose fading to orange. Held horizontal and reflexed.
Corolla: Orange at the base blending to bold dark red, 1/4 flared.
Foliage: Mid green.
Parentage: (F. magdalenae x Rubra Grandiflora) x Bicentennial.
