This bush grows really well in subtropical climates. In Brisbane it churns out flowers almost all year long- in small clusters to each stem. It is about 1.5 m high and would hedge. It gets occasional black spot but doesn't succumb. The scent is divine - only a little less than papa Meilland and
Mr Lincoln, but similarly evocative of Turkish delight. The blooms are upright. The lipstick pink fades in the heat to an Austin pink. It has a florist rose look to it, but the blooms look less angular and more ruffled as they age. This bush grew happily through a ten year drought and flowered on rain water only. This is a strong rose bush that doesn't get octopus tentacles.

It does very well in Perth as well. A strong, generous, easy care rose and one of the last to defoliate in winter. No complaints about this rose at all! Beautiful blooms, attractive, healthy foliage, gorgeous fragrance, it is an excellent garden specimen and an excellent cut flower.

This rose holds its colour in summer heat. The pink apricot colours are breathtaking.
The bush thrives in subtropical weather and it doesn't seem to get black spot.
It is a nicely shaped bush that isn't prone to leginess. A nice healthy rose addition.

Flowers abundantly. In less than a year it has grown
To 2m. The flowers start off as red yellow and fade to red white in the heat
Eventually. The red does not blacken in the heat. Nor do the blooms ball up in rain.
The blooms are upright and long lasting. The bush is quite thorny.
Black spot is mild. This is a great rose for Brisbane Australia
/subtropical coastal regions.
