The color was stunning -   orange with drear ' burn - like ' edge , the growing was not easy , it was preponderantly producing forgetful duration principally 40 and 50 centimeters . But Dyens was so confident about this variety that he asked us to continue the tryout .

Against the usualIn addition to the color , this new salmagundi work against the usual on more aspects . " peculiarly over the last years , we see that many agriculturalist are selecting straight color varieties that mainly deal well in the direct market place and just a bit in the auction . We decide to do it the other way around and choose a multifariousness that will chiefly trade on the auction , but can be partly sell on the unmediated market as well . On top of that , it ’s usually expected from mellow - EL farms like we are ( 2,400 meters above sea level ) to give rise big headway roses . This variety , however , has a intermediate forefront size , but when take heed the feedback , we see that the color makes such an impression that the head size of it is n’t that important anymore - some even say that this variety does not even take the longer stem length from a market viewpoint . "
