Notable characteristics: Pure white petals with a few of the center petals rimmed in bright crimson. A vigorous grower and generous bloomer. Stems are long and need some support when blossoms once fully open. This cultivar is best suited for the cutting garden, where blossoms can be brought indoors and enjoyed for over a week. There are many good reasons that this cultivar has been a favorite in the cut flower markets of Europe and the United States for over 150 years.
