Flatish rather large dense very-late glossy light pink double flowers on 36 inch stems that droop slightly. The clear pink fades to a nice near-white. The flowers open a bit slower on one side so they have a distinctive attractive off-center pinkish blotch. Makes a good cutter as it is quite profllic and nearly no leaves on long stem between its bush and bloom. There apparently are no pistils or stamens. Seedling # B-82
