The vigorous branches , arched and rather unbranched , spring from the base. They are moderately thorny and have large, medium green, satiny foliage. The flowers, solitary or in small bouquets, form a regular pompom like a powder puff, composed of very many fine and feathery petals. Their color is a mix of rose , gold and sweet apricot . The perfume, to breathe closely, is fruity . The ascent is very regular.
