6 foot tall plant that produced a good number of nice blooms high atop its canes. They had little scent in my eastern North Carolina garden. Reasonably disease resistant.

It was fertile as a seed parent.

I see this one at Washington Park every year. Always pass by. The colors are kind of washed out, at least for my liking. Its fragrant, vigorous, and tall. World Peace is prettier, but its not vigorous or tall. It was sort of a pain to raise here. But the blooms were cool.

Just to second Heidi's warning about tenderness on this one.  I'm in zone 5, planted the bud union deeply and covered with several inches of woodchips for the winter, but it still barely survived.  Just one cane coming up from the base this year.  I definitely recommend planting this one in a protected spot. Gorgeous rose though!

Best color with some heat. Larger flower size in cooler conditions (courtesy Weeks Roses)
