Early April, a perfectly shaped bloom. I'm not really fond of striped Roses, but this is a truly charming variety. Typical "cherry candy" China scent, but leaves on my plant, small at first, look more and more like a Gigantea hybrid as the plant grow up: light green to yellow-green, pointed, drooping leaflets. Any purple or red cast on new growth, which is plain green.
Blooms are only semi-double in summer and autumn, and easily scorched by mediterranean sun.

I love the random strip of red, but solid red can be found in other areas of the plant. Jeri Jennings

The whole plant is so huge as to make it difficult to photograph. Blooms of different colors appear on different parts of the rose, rather than randomely all over.
IS this Fortune's 'Five-Colored Rose'? It is still disputed, and the folks in Bermuda prefer their own name for this rose: "Smith's Parish.' It is continuous-blooming and disease-free in coastal Southern California. -- Jeri Jennings
