Double type; very large; late. A medium shade of light rose-pink, almost white at edges of petals, incurved center disclosing a few golden yellow stamens; fragrance sweet but weak. Tall; free blooming; medium-strong stems and well-set foliage. Variously described as white tinted pink, and light shell-pink shaded salmon, which indicates that the color varies considerably. Petals are toothed and jagged in the center, giving an irregular, carnation-like appearance.
