Comments: Dark pink buds cover this plant each spring and open in a combination of pink and white. Highly fragrant with a spicy scent. Having grown its parent fragrantissimum many years ago this hybrid, along with its sister, R. 'Coastal Spice' is a vast improvement over it as it is much more compact.
