This is a somewhat taller, upright floribunda. It blooms all season long. I find it to be quite healthy and unique. It seems to like to send up a lot of new basal breaks.

Notes:
This rose's color is extremely dependent on climate, weather and season. It is quite the chameleon. Also, the color is almost always difficult to photograph. It is stunning in person.
