Pink blend Hybrid Tea.
Registration name: Desert Magic
Exhibition name: Desert Magic

Bred by Judith Belsham Singer (United States, 2005).

Hybrid Tea.  

Light to medium pink centers with darker pink to smoky red outer petals.  Mild to strong fragrance.  18 to 24 petals.  Average diameter 5".  Large, semi-double (9-16 petals), borne mostly solitary, cupped, scalloped bloom form.  Continuous (perpetual) bloom throughout the season.  

Medium, few or no prickles/thorns.  Medium, glossy, dark green foliage.  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for container rose, cut flower, garden, landscape or shrub.  Heat tolerant.  Disease susceptibility: 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.  

Not thornless, but doesn't have a lot of thorns. Color changes depending on age of bloom and season. Fuschia or often hot pink with light pink to medium pink petals in the center, changing to smoky red outer petals, similar to Color Magic. Color deepens as bloom ages. Does VERY well in extreme heat, blooming constantly throughout the summer.
