Tea Clipper
Wide, quartered rosettes with a button eye. These are rich
apricot at the centre, with paler outer petals that gradually
turn back as the bloom opens. The fragrance is a lovely
mix of Tea, myrrh and fruit, often with strong citrus
notes. Almost thornless and particularly healthy. Summer
pruning is recommended. May be trained as a lovely short
climber.
