The initial generous flush of flowers makes the best display, but the bush does continue to produce flowers Summer through Fall. Urn shaped buds become large, double, perfectly formed 4-5" spicy scented flowers that are produced on long stems perfect for cutting. The strong, rose/clove fragrance is wonderful. Any rose with an award in fragrance, is sure to be richly scented.
