Fragrant, bomb double, large size flower opens blush pink, soon fading from blush to nearly white. Large guard petals form a saucer which holds in center a large ball tightly stuffed with long, narrow and cupped petal segments. The flower is rich in color with two bands of ivory pink petals separated by a belt of pale yellow petalodes; the latter repeats at center in the fully opened flower. Quite satisfying plant habit, vigorous and good grower. Reliable bloomer with ample color on a large, tall bush. Strong stems, may lean when in open flower and may benefit from mechanical support for best results. Furnishes fine stems for the vase and an excellent choice for a cut flower garden.
