more robust grower. Like Jersey Beauty, the blooms are held facing sideways, on 
long, strong, rigid stems, well above the foliage, which is dark green and heavy 
as well as leathery, a grand white for table or other decorative work, as it has

about five feet in height. It is a very prolific bloomer and one that can be depended 
upon to give large blooms from first to last, with the minimum of disbudding.
