A smoothly blended flower of golden tobacco brown that is between Spanish Orange (0110/1) and Mars Orange (0113/1). The closely domed standards are slightly deeper because they are faintly flushed with rose, and the wide semi-flaring falls have a lighter tone around the deep gold beard. The large flowers are a darker brown than the parents, but are not dull in color for they have a metallic sheen that adds lifeand luster to the whole bloom.
