The pink trumpet tree, also known as the Tabebuia Rosea, is a species of flowering tree that is native to Central and South America. The tree is known for its vibrant pink flowers that bloom in late winter or early spring.

In Bengaluru, India, the pink trumpet tree is known to bloom in the months of January and February, and it is a popular attraction among locals and tourists alike. The tree is often planted in parks and gardens, and can also be seen along streets and roads.

The pink trumpet tree is considered an invasive species in some parts of India, as it is able to grow quickly and take over native vegetation. However, it is also known for its ability to attract pollinators and for its beautiful blooms. The pink trumpet tree typically reaches a height of about 20-30 feet and has a wide, spreading canopy. The tree's flowers are typically pink, but can also be found in shades of white and purple.

In Bengaluru, the pink trumpet trees are most commonly found in Cubbon Park, Lal Bagh Botanical Garden, and Bannerghatta Biological Park where visitors can enjoy the view of the blooming trees.  Often mistaken for cherry blossoms, rosy trumpets have a long history with Bangalore.
