Plant Key value is AL. Color can be blush pink, flesh pink, tan or light apricot depending on the light and the season. There is significant white in the spring, and darker blooms once the hot weather sets in. Fragrance can be very strong or almost imperceptible.

This is definitely not an end product. The bush is open and airy and too sparsely clothed in foliage. Still, it comes from two very good parents, produces pollen and may set hips -- so it bears watching.
