A tall upright growing plant with rather large light red blooms of reasonable form at the early stage. The flowers open quite fast, some reporters like it at the full open stage others find it unattractive and ragged. Plants are healthy and the repeat of flowers is slow. Apart from a Northland grower who likes the colour and form, other reporters have not been greatly impressed. Few reports in recent years and only from the North Island.
