Although there is only an 8 rating for scent, the perfume is among the best. The cream petals edged with a reddish pink is an eye catching combination. In hotter weather you will see more pink round the edge. There are faults with this beauty, the petals are soft and damage in rain, if it is forecast to be wet cut the blooms to enjoy in the home. The plant is a bit rangy and will get some mildew.
