Bred by Peter Lambert (Germany, 1919).

Hybrid Tea.  

Rose-pink, yellow center, silver(y) edges.  Strong fragrance.  Very large, double (17-25 petals), borne mostly solitary, cluster-flowered, in small clusters, cupped bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  Large, ovoid buds.  

Upright.  Medium, glossy foliage.  

Height: up to 2' (up to 60cm).  

USDA zone 6b and warmer.  Can be used for beds and borders, cut flower or garden.  Hardy.  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.
