R. Marion Hatton.  The World's New Roses
Bright Wings is an odd affair, with 4 1/2 inch shapeless flowers, with nineteen petals of apricot-salmon, changing to warm pink. They have a fruity fragrance. Plants are low and spreading. Some gardeners may want it for the colour effect, but I can't imagine it going far.
