Paul's notes
Both distinctive and delicate, the colouration of this elegant semi-double flower is the reversal of common colouration, with the stronger pink colour on the petal edging and a paler interior, giving an overall pink impression at distance.
Timing is about one week after the first Red Charm (Mid/Late). Flower size is 140-160 mm, mature height is 750 mm (30"). It has sealed buds and seems to cut well.
The bush is productive and healthy, no support is needed.
