    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "The flower is long-budded and fully double, dark salmon pink at the center fading to lilac pink. The petals roll into points at the tips as they unfold, giving the fully open flower a starry look. The blooms have typical Tea fragrance, and the foliage is extra thick and attractive."
