Apricot or apricot blend.  Mild to strong, spice fragrance.  Average diameter 3.5".  Medium, double (17-25 petals) bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Upright.  Medium, glossy foliage.  
Height of 5' to 5½' (150 to 165 cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for cut flower or garden.  Heat tolerant.  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.
