Family Rosaceae. English roses.

A vigorous, healthy shrub with large glossy leaves. Flowers are cupped at an early stage, later opening into attractive rosettes; the color is peach, fading toward the edge of the flower so that the edges are almost white. The reverse side of the petals is deep pink. In every respect an excellent variety. Fragrance fruity. (AUS)

This rose has peach-pink, cup-shaped flowers that fade towards the edges. As the flower opens, the outer petals reflex downwards. The scent is strong, fruity, reminiscent of tea roses. Foliage is dark green, glossy; the shrub is vigorous. This rose combines strong growth with two very abundant waves of flowering during the season. Excellent for planting against a wall and will easily clamber over a small arch. It also looks good grown as a shrub without support, forming a neat bush with arching, pendulous shoots. (ER)
