Exceptional form on this lovely Hybrid Tea rose. The great apricot blend color holds up well, remaining beautiful from bud form to full bloom. Buds are long, ovoid. It is a prolific bloomer, staying in flower all season long. It laughs at the heat, and has it's best flower color in hot conditions. It is a very disease resistant rose bush, making it more desirable.

The bush is well branched, giving you lots of flowers.

The large flowers (6') have a light wash of green on the petals as they start to open. It is a great cut flower, that lasts a long time in the vase. (Careful, it is heavily armed with prickles "thorns")

Outstanding blooms can be enjoyed in the garden, the vase, or as a show rose. A sweet flower, with a soft sweet fragrance. (and an easy name to remember)
