Standards light pinkish red; falls broad & rounded, bright crimson, contrasting wonderfully with the fetching white beards. Fine large flowers with falls sometimes over 3" wide, even in the fall. Sweetly fragrant. Foliage stays green all thru fall blooming period. Bred from 2 Re-Bloomers (Gibson Girl X California Pink). Regularly $15; on $20 order $11.25; on $25 order $9.95.
