It is more cupped than Kansas, has three rows of guard petals and a semi-bomb center; color American Beauty Rose, the guard petals are clear and cupped, the semi-bomb center is covered with a silvery sheen, which gives it a frosted appearance which is different from any other peony on the market today. Stems stiff; foliage dark green; blooms midseason to late. A good exhibition flower as well as a “must” in the garden.
