    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "The deep pink petals reflex into pointed tips as they unfold, giving the very double flowers a particularly attractive star-like shape when fully open. Flowers are larger than those of many Tea roses, and the good fragrance and free-blooming characteristic make this a rewarding shrub to grow. The unique coloration of this rose is sure to attract many new admirers."
