Description

Numerous flowers are held on long, slender, arching stems – nodding their heads slightly to give a most pleasing effect. Orange buds opening into lovely pure yellow flowers are loosely cupped and a little more than semi-double. The petals count 17-25 in average, the flowers are about 8.5 cm (3.5") in diameter. They emit a wonderful pleasant musky fragrance just with a touch of orange blossom. This is a repeat flowering variety, tends to flower almost without breaks until the frosts.

It forms deciduous shrub bearing pinnate leaves with ovate, glossy, toothed, mid-green leaflets.
