Shrub.  

Apricot, pink shading, yellow highlights.  Mild fragrance.  Average diameter 3".  Medium, very double, in small clusters bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, bushy, mounded, upright.  Medium, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: 3' to 6' (90 to 185cm).  Width: up to 2' (up to 60cm).

USDA zone 4b and warmer.  Can be used for cut flower, garden or landscape.  Very hardy.  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.
