Description

Flowers double, flesh-white, with long, smooth petals which graduate symmetrically into a hollow, funnel-like center with a few stamens in its depths, producing a slight yellow tint, borne in late-midseason. Good foliage, splendid growth habit, but stems are occasionally floppy. (Dessert, 1909).
