According to the David Austin Site:
This is a particularly interesting rose in that it is the first in the English Old Rose group which has apricot flowers. These are large, about 4″ across, and of a beautiful shade of rich pure apricot that pales towards the outside of the bloom. They are of a rosette shape and very full petalled with a large button eye that gradually opens up; the petals loosely arranged in a quartered formation. There is a particularly lovely and strong tea fragrance which has hints of cedar wood and vanilla.
