          Description
          The flowers are a soft rose pink and semi-double in form, held on thin, wiry stems. They open to provide us with almost camellia-like blooms. At bud stage the fragrance is myrrh with a touch of tea, becoming a spicy musk when the flowers open. It forms a large, airy shrub with dainty, grey-green foliage. David Austin, 2010.
