This is an unusual color rose - sort of a coffee/cream inner color, fading to a mauve outer color. It has an antique look to it - very old fashioned feminine. Faint but pleasant scent. I like it a lot more than I thought I would. Vigorous plant, about 4-5 ft tall. It's doing the best of all the buck roses I planted this spring - covered in blooms.
