Such a fun rose! The colors start out vibrant and strong, but the orange gradually fades to the color of pink grapefruit. Grows to 6 feet tall if tied to a trellis. Heavy bloomer, with several repeats throughout the season. Canes will arch out with sprays of blooms that can get heavy enough to weigh down the branches and snap them. Keep it in bounds, and cut back branches where the clusters of petals have fallen, as it won't always grow past that point to rebloom. One of the few roses my husband consistently comments on year after year. It's also one of my mother's favorites, but she has difficulty finding it in North Carolina, and tells me it's because it's known to be more suited for cooler climates. Here in New York, it's among my favorites, even if it's a bit of a "novelty" rose.
