The blooms are at first full and deeply cupped, but then open up to reveal a central button. The colour is yellow with hues of mustard. Overall it's a massive bush that won't go unnoticed since it spreads quite a lot. The flowers facing upwards on the the tip of the long stems. This is a vigorous and disease-resistant plant. The fragrance is strong and delicious and changes according to the climate between a delicate tea fragrance and a nearly pure lemon scent.
