Outer petals large, cupped, light rose-pink flushed darker outside, surrounding a collar of shredded petals and stamens and an incurved center bearing red streaks on occasional petals; faintly fragrant.

Excellent texture of rather fragile appearance. “Petals tipped or edged lighter, giving a silvery effect which is rather pleasing.”—Thurlow.
