Photo/Description- Weeks Roses

Mysteriously colored & deliriously novel…it’s an indescribable blending of smoked lavender & rusty red-orange. Yet it’s perfectly blendable with any color in the garden, whether it’s atop a rose tree, planted in mass or nestled amongst your favorite perennials. The super-clean glossy-green foliage mirrors the flowers, adding even more pizazz to this bushy rounded flower factory.

Bloom / Size: Large, ruffled, double
Petal count: About 25
Parentage: Topsy Turvy x Julia Child

Hybridizer: Carruth - 2009
