In 1931, Saunders reported its coloration as “very near ‘Hope’ but lighter.” My plant is very young and so far it has only produced single flowers with about 10 petals and a somewhat irregular shape. However, the APS website states “double when established” so I think I will see a different flower form in the future.
This flower looks very similar to my ‘Lotus Bloom’ which comes from the same cross so I need to look at these two more closely in the future to determine if they are truly different plants.
