 est sorts in cultivation. It is of the late branching type, 

 growing from 2 to 2 H feet high. The flowers are large and 

 full, with incurved petals measuring from 4 to 5 inches in 

 diameter, and are borne on stems from 15 to 20 inches long

 pure shell-pink flowers of lasting substance on long stems
