    In contrast to many other modern roses, this pretty floribunda grows quite well on its own roots. It's officially categorized as an apricot blend, but that doesn't begin to describe its infinite variety. The buds are usually pink or white, and the open blooms can be predominantly pink, white, or yellow. They rarely resemble the blooms of the typical apricot-blend rose. The strong fragrance might not suit everyone's taste. For me, it evokes memories of Pond's Cold Cream and other moisturizers of bygone days.
