Breeder's notes:
THis rose was named in honour of my deceased mother, Rahima Kondic. The intriguing and changeable colour of the petals really made me pick this one as a rose worthy of registration. There is only one rose bush at present but I'm working on making it available to the public.
The flowers start as cerise buds, when open you can clearly see the intricate golden blush in the middle and pencil thin white edge on each petal.
