From Tempo Two catalog, 1983: CHINESE TREASURE (Blyth '83 Aust.) E-EM 36" Sdlg. M57-6. Brilliant in colour, particularly its beards, is this new approach to a rose amoena. Standards are white with a soft pink influence in midribs. Falls are deep rose with a strange bluish hue. Beards are vivid mandarin red. Form is ruffled and branching is very good. It has proved itself as a parent and as a garden show is unsurpassed. It is a sister to Hush At Twilight and Polynesian Princess. (Lisa Ann x Child of Fortune). $20.00.
