More information
Jessika blooms are salmon-pink, with creamy inner petals and a cream-colored reverse. Over time, the yellow pigment fades and the petals darken, developing a dark pink (almost crimson) edge. As the flowers are densely branched, this transition lasts several days. Blooms usually appear singly on long, sturdy shoots suitable for cutting. The bush is strong, upright, and reblooms abundantly. Autumn flowers are darker and more intensely colored, with possible black spotting at that time of year.
Buds are oval, pointed, copper-red, and open slowly. Flowers are mixed in color: bright pink and salmon-orange, yellow toward the center of the petals, turning pink as they open; cup-shaped, large (10 cm), double (up to 50 petals), fragrant, borne singly and in inflorescences of up to 5. Leaves are dark green, leathery, with well-defined veining, and resistant to fungal diseases. Bushes are medium-sized (60 cm), dense, smooth, with strong, well-branched shoots. Flowering is abundant. Winter-resistant. For groups, cuttings, and bush culture. Int. GBS in 1973
