Details:
Big ivory petals with lavender highlights at center; clove fragrance. Tender young foliage may also emit clove-like fragrance in spring sun, leading to subtle surprise. Medium height bush is spreading but strong, with big leaflets, prominent in effect. A descendent of the Saunders' cultivar Silver Dawn, very fertile, used effectively in breeding by Roy Pehrson and Chris Laning.
