Hybrid Tea.  

Orange blend, golden-yellow reverse.  Moderate fragrance.  26 to 40 petals.  Average diameter 4.5".  Large, full (26-40 petals), cluster-flowered, in small clusters, exhibition bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, bushy, upright.  Medium, semi-glossy, dark green foliage.  

Height: 4' to 5' (120 to 150cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, cut flower, exhibition, garden or landscape.  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.
