    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "The clusters of rounded buds open to soft, salmon-pink, semi-double flowers with a touch of yellow at the base of the petals. Gifted with a true rose fragrance, this rose is ideal for growing in a pot where it can be easily appreciated. Strong sun burns off the fragrant oils, so make sure to "stop and smell the roses" during the morning hours."

    Planted in Central Texas over 20 years ago with minimal care and still strong. It's a survivor.
