This is a beautiful and typical hybrid tea. Blossoms can be quite large. Fragrance is strong and fruity. Blossoms last well on the bush and in a vase.

This rose is still being tested for vigor when budded. Estimated height and width are for own-root specimens.

The pollen parent here is likely, 'Medallion'.
