Unknown.  

Rose-pink, apricot center. .  Strong fragrance.  Double (17-25 petals), borne mostly solitary, classic hybrid tea, exhibition, formal bloom form.  Continuous (perpetual) bloom throughout the season.  Long buds.  

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.  

This seedling is one from a large group of open pollinated Compassion seedlings. The seeds were grown out to test fertility and to see what characteristics Compassion would pass on. Most seedling from this series tend to be quite vigorous. The blooms are double to full with excellent, hybrid tea/exhibition form and borne one to a stem. Foliage is usually large, dark green with better than average disease resistance. First blooms were a clear apricot, however, as the plant matured, the blooms became a blend of apricot and rose-pink.

First planted in the ground: July 2016
