Floribunda.  

Russet.  Flowers coffe-with-cream color.  Strong fragrance.  Full (26-40 petals), cluster-flowered, in small clusters, flat bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Light green foliage.  

Height: 35" to 39" (90 to 100cm).  

USDA zone 6b and warmer.  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose or garden.  Vigorous.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Nigel Pratt of Tasman Bay Roses says this rose has large, double flowers of old-fashioned form, creamy coffee in colour...
Often confused in commerce with 'Julia's Rose' (Foliage is different: Young shoots and mature leaves of 'Café' are light green).
