More information

Sport of the Piccadilly variety, with orange areas of the petals mottled with yellow stripes and streaks. A dense cluster of red stamens at the center creates strong contrast. The blooms maintain their form and show good rain tolerance. They appear either in clusters or singly. Disbudding results in larger flowers. The plant is vigorous and repeat-blooming. Foliage is dark green, glossy, and reddish when young. Black spot can occur in wet weather, but in hot climates the plant can reach 2 m.

The flowers resemble those of Piccadilly—yellow on the reverse of the petals and orange-red on the upper surface—except that here the orange-red surface is streaked. The rose blooms freely and has a light fragrance. Growth is slightly below average; the bush is branched; the foliage is dark green.
