Opening from large, ovoid buds, they are closely packed with 66-71 petals and exude a lovely sweet and fruity fragrance. Blooming in flushes from spring to fall, they are perfect for cutting. The foliage of glossy, dark green leaves is an ideal backdrop for their summer-long floral display. Bushy, upright, handsomely shaped, this beautiful shrub deserves a spot in the mixed border or in containers. Excellent disease resistance and rain tolerance.
