I bought one of these for my mum last year for mothers day and liked it so much I got myself one! Blooms are a lovely soft shade of pastel pink in the centre fading to white towards the outer layers. It will occasionally have rain spots if there's heavy rain but this only seems to affect the outer petals and actually adds to the charm as it looks like splashes of pink water colour in my opinion! Also has a lovely sweet rose fragrance and the bush itself has abundant healthy green foliage.

Another bloom from the same bush. I do find though that you can get quite a few variances in the bloom form and the other four posts in this gallery are good examples, it's kinda like having 3 - 4 different roses but they all come from the same plant! Some might see it as a flaw but I personally love it! I think my favourite if I had to choose would be the form of "Perrfect"s post, where the bloom opens up saucer like and with a frilly ball shaped cup in the centre!
