Hybrid Tea.  

Carmine-red to cherry-red, darker edges.  Moderate, spice fragrance.  40 petals.  Very full (41+ petals) bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, bushy, upright.  Large, semi-glossy, dark green foliage.  

USDA zone 7b and warmer.  Can be used for beds and borders, cut flower or garden.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  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.  Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) .
