Average of three pale green carpels with pale pink stigmata. Stamens and pollen. Very fertile. Somewhat fragrant, medium-sized flowers held above the plant open late for a hybrid. Somewhat spreading 35″ plant with medium green, moderately pointed leaflets. Name is maiden name of mother of originator’s maternal grandfather.
