The flowers are of medium size, full, beautifully formed, and freely produced throughout the summer, with strong perfume. It is a particularly good variety for growing under glass. It should be moderately pruned at the beginning of March. Introduced in 1919, and awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society.
