Large, formal double flowers that shade from white to pink with a deeper pink edge which, when perfect, look absolutely stunning. The flowering is, however, quite sensitive to temperature. In cold weather the large buds can take a long time to open, while in hot, dry conditions the centre of the flower may fail to open leaving a 'rosebud' in the middle.
The growth is vigorous and slightly open, but very upright, initially forming a tall, narrow plant, becoming more dense and bushy with age. Flowers in February and March.
