Big, globular, cream white with flesh pink shading and salmon pink center blooms appear mostly solitary in small clusters. They are very full and have a moderate Tea fragrance. 

Forms quite a rounded, well balanced shrub of approx 120X100 cm or 5X4 feet. Wood is dark green and red when young. Big, dark green foliage

Parents are unknown. Zone 7b to 10b. Can take quite some rain before the flowers turn bad. Also heat and drought resistant. Needs full sun and doesn't like pruning.

A beautiful variety
