White or white blend.  Moderate fragrance.  41 petals.  Average diameter 2.75".  Small to medium, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, bushy, few or no prickles/thorns.  Medium, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

USDA zone 7b and warmer.  Can be used for beds and borders, cut flower or garden.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) .
