Deciduous shrub with a beautiful, single-petaled pink and golden bloom in May. Dense and compact habit.
Deep rose colored buds open into large, fragrant rose-pink flowers with a prominent yellow-orange flair. Great combination of colors makes for a showy display each season.
Large, rose-pink trusses erupt from deep rose buds. Once open, the flowers display upper petals with large yellow-orange flares that gradually deepen to bright red-orange. The flower has a tricolor appearance that is very showy. FRAGRANT
