Tabebuia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae. The common name “roble” is sometimes found in English. Tabebuias have been called “trumpet trees”, but this name is usually applied to other trees and has become a source of confusion and misidentification. Tabebuia consists almost entirely of trees, but a few are often large shrubs. A few species produce timber, but the genus is mostly known for those that are cultivated as flowering trees. Tabebuia is native to the American tropics and subtropics from Mexico and the Caribbean to Argentina. Most of the species are from Cuba and Hispaniola. It is commonly cultivated and often naturalised or adventive beyond its natural range.

Tabebuia rosea, commonly known as Pink Trumpet-tree, Pink Trumpet or Apamate is a striking deciduous tree native to North, Central and South America from Mexico to Venezuela and Ecuador. It is planted widely in neotropical cities across the world, becoming a handsome shade tree during the wet season and offering a magnificent show of eye-catching pink trumpet shaped flowers during the dry season. The lightly scented flowers which come in a range of pinks and purples are mainly pollinated by bees and other insects, but also attract nectar feeding birds such as hummingbirds and orioles. It drops its foliage immediately before bursting into bloom, leaving the gorgeous blossoms as the focal point. This tree is easily pruned to keep its moderate size, and its root system is not aggressive, making it a great tree to plant near patios or driveways to provide shade and beauty. An excellent statement tree on parks and gardens which also can be pruned and shapes into an interesting bonsai tree or pot plant on a patio or small garden.
