The description from Caprice Farms is as follows:
A unique, tailored white double often with a few marbled red and white petals in center. A slight salmon cast in cool, wet weather. With its strong stems, dark green foliage and enticing fragrance, we feel it's a much improved 'Festiva Maxima'.

I can testify to all but the cast in cool, wet weather, as we never have such weather here in the late spring/early summer!
