The large, full double flower opens rosy blush, quickly fading white in the sunlight. Very broad, fragrant petals fluted and with uniquely serrate edges, form an altogether well-tailored, voluptuous flower. A good grower with prolific blooming. Tall stems carry the flowers above the bush and may sag in open flowering during the rainy season, requiring tall mechanical support in the viewed landscape. Yields fabulous stems for the vase and an excellent choice for the cut flower garden.
