Large, ovoid Neyron rose buds open to flowers that are large, cupped, or slightly quartered, double pale neyron rose, darker on the reverse, and with a stippling of dark Neyron rose on the center of the petals. Flowers are borne in clusters on medium, strong stems with very good lasting quality and a moderate clove fragrance. Old petals drop off cleanly. there is an abundant amount of large normal green leathery foliage. Plants are vigorous, producing mounded plants 90 x 90 cm high. There is profuse intermittent bloom. It is hardy but the tips freeze. The plants are winter-hardy in Iowa without protection.
