Orange blend. Dark yellow with orange edges upper; yellow reverse. Mild, lily of the valley fragrance. 12 to 20 petals. Average diameter 2.5". Medium, semi-double to double, borne mostly solitary, reflexed bloom form. Prolific, blooms in flushes throughout the season. Ovoid buds.

Short, compact. Medium, semi-glossy, dark green foliage. 3 to 7 leaflets.
Height: 10" to 1' (25 to 30cm).
Growing:
USDA zone 4b through 10b. Can be used for container rose, garden or rock garden. Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant. Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom. Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
