More information

This rose has an orange flower color that combines well with yellow and apricot tones. The rounded buds open into cup-shaped, very double flowers, with many inner petals surrounded by a ring of outer petals. The flowers have a strong fragrance, described by specialists as similar to a “flower shop” scent with notes of chrysanthemum leaves, ripe bananas, and tea.

The plant forms a bushy, upright shrub that can be pruned to maintain either a taller or a lower height. It can be grown together with cultivars such as ‘Graham Thomas’® or ‘Pat Austin’® and with blue-flowering perennials for color contrast.
