Tea.  

Pink blend.  Moderate fragrance.  Average diameter 3.5".  Medium, full (26-40 petals), cluster-flowered, in small clusters bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Tall, bushy.  Large, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for cut flower, garden or shrub.  Resist the urge to prune this rose too heavily -- it doesn't like it!.  

This very light pink Tea rose has garnet pink edging to the petals in fine weather, giving it a picotee look. We thought the name we gave it was appropriate.
