When you first see this rose blooming it will stop you right in your tracks, 
(BG because of the brightness of its enchanting and unusual orange color. Buds 
AASRS of vivid orange open to large flowers (usually about 20 petals) which are 
a captivating shade of apricot-orange. The form is not always perfect, but 
the color and the ample fruit-like fragrance more than make up for this. A marvelous 
rose for the cooler coastal areas. Elsewhere, the plant is apt to stay rather low and
