'Elizabeth Harkness'. For me one of the most beautiful of the more recent Hybrid Teas. It has large flowers of shapely spiral formation, and its colour is ivory-white delicately touched with pink and amber. It can be affected by damp weather but, at its best, it produces buds of pristine perfection. The growth is upright, bushy, of medium height and strength with medium green foliage. Light fragrance. It is particularly fine when grown under glass. Height 2 and 1/2 feet. The breeding rather surprisingly is 'Red Dandy' x 'Piccadilly'. Raised by Harkness (UK), introduced 1969.
