The hot weather (I think) brings out apricot tones. Scent as potent as ever. SE England 2022.

I think this variety could have taken the rose world by storm if it had been bred by a famous company -- say Tantau or Meilland. Really compact and tidy bush, long-lasting flowers that unfurl slowly and are held well-erect on their stems, flower form that gives most present day bush roses a run for their money, unusual colouring (white shaded green, changing to white, and eventually to white with a golden centre), and fragrance that has to be experienced to be believed -- thick, lush and creamy. May 2022, England.
