Australia Felix. Modern, large-flowered Hybrid Tea. Pink blend. Repeat-flowering.
The flowers of this variety open from small, rounded buds into moderately full blooms of cupped form. They are silvery pink with tints of lavender, have a pleasing fragrance, and appear through summer and autumn. The growth is average for a large-flowered Rose and it is reasonably vigorous, with a bushy habit and dark glossy foliage. This was one of over 100 roses raised by one of Australia’s most prolific raisers, Alister Clark (1860-1945*) Zones 4-9. Clark, Australia 1919. Seedling of Jersey Beauty.
