I'm on the verge of trashing this one. I ordered it a couple of years ago as it seemed to be "different" and I like odd roses. However, it just ends up being this weird, muddled peachy-pink. It's as though the rose half wants to be like Distant Drums in form and color-oddity, but gets halfway there and...meh. It has nice foliage, the plant has stayed compact...it just evokes zero emotion. You don't pay it any attention and it never gets any compliments in the garden. It's just there.

From J&P webpage:

Vibrant multi-tonal blooms and a rich fruity fragrance make a winning combination!

Try something a little different in your rose garden this season! The rich multi-color blooms offer tones of orange, apricot, and coral pink all mingling together on the same bloom in a rich tapestry of color. Lean in for a closer look and you will be rewarded with an equally alluring, medium fruity fragrance. This child of 'Victorian Spice' offers a new level of sophistication to elevate your rose garden!

Boasting dark green, glossy foliage, this shrub will grow into a medium-sized rose with an exquisite form that is very upright and dense. The high-centered blooms stretch about 4 inches wide, borne in magnificent clusters on 12- to 14-inch stems. Very disease resistant and hardy, this well-rounded floribunda is a well-rounded wonder that every rose garden needs! Zones 4 (with light protection) to 9.

Thanks a_carl76. Details added. We don't have any "with light protection" slots, so I have put it in as zone 5b.
