  Delicate, double, exceptionally fragrant, pale pink to white flowers from July to September and crisp, dark green leaves.

Offering good resistance to disease, the beautiful high-centred to cup-shaped blooms make excellent cut-flowers.
  
  
• Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 8-15cm (3-6in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.
