The blooms are gorgeous, cream colored in the center and cherry around the petals edges. That coloring makes it look as if the blooms were lit from within. They’re also lightly fragrant, with a scent like cinnamon. This rose is resistant to black spot and mildew and has long stems that make Dick Clark a wonderful addition to floral arrangements.
