Notes:
There's very little information available about Smooth Queen, but the following is from the Wallararoses.com.au website in Australia:
"This regal hybrid tea has lovely soft apricot buds, opening to reveal stunning blooms with reflex petals, fading to cream with soft pink edges. It has a pleasantly light fruity fragrance, flowering continuously over the flowering season and would be good for cut flowers. Smooth Queen is available by mail order in Bush."
