    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "A member of our retail staff attests that "this is the very best Tea rose I have grown. It blooms almost constantly." The fragrant flowers are Camellia-like shaped and vary in shades of pink which fade to a cream. The bush is rather full and rounded for a Tea and is very easy to grow. This rose was named for the wife of the breeder so we suspect it was the best in his collection."
