This one turned out to be a stunningly beautiful rose. I think of it as a new and improved version of 'Love', as its coloration is similar but more intense, and Acapella's flowers are 3 times the size and longer-lasting. It also has a pleasant moderate raspberry fragrance. Every bloom has exhibition form on thick, sturdy, long stems. It's continuously in bloom and seems disease-resistant too, with clean thick olive green foliage. Once you see the dark pink-with a white reverse blooms open, you'll have a hard time resisting cutting them. A big bouquet of these beauties will rival any florist rose. The petals have a nice sturdy substance and the flowers last for days on the bush or in a vase. I love this hybrid tea and plan to get more! The bush is upright and moderate in height.

I'm in Zone 8b. This beauty is planted in a location to received morning sun and afternoon shade. It's looking healthy and has already bloomed twice in just a few weeks.
I received during the summer & have only had 1 bloom so far from this beauty. Just with that 1 bloom I can say she produces beautiful & breathtaking flowers. The color was so vivid with the gorgeous creamy white reverse on top of the deep pinkish red. The bloom, for being the 1st one in the middle of the summer in our tripple digit heat, was quite large & lasted several days compared to what I was expecting. The initial bloom was about 4in in diameter so that tells me when she gets more established & Temps cool she will produce very large & beautiful blooms which is exactly what I want in a rose. I am glad I ordered this one. I believe she will be one of my favorites & I can't wait to see what she does next spring! Z7B Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
Such a beautiful rose. I received rose in July & so far I've only has 1 or 2 blooms but she looks healthy & I can't wait until next season to see her grow & to see her true form.
