Description

Fragrant, bomb double, large flower opens in shades of medium pink. A double row of broad guard petals holds a large ball of tightly packed petalodes and narrow segments, petal tips silvered. The flower is of heavy substance and well-tailored, displaying a very large bloom when protected from wind or opened in a vase. Good plant habit, vigorous and fair grower. A reliable bloomer with abundant color on a spreading, tall bush. Much appreciated for its vigor and flower size. Long stems sag with opened flower, the presentation in the viewed landscape needs support. Outstanding display in the landscape and great for cutting. A staple of the florist trade.
