				Enormous round 
				petals always translate to BIG blossoms with lovely flower form. 
				In the case of Sunstruck, each large petal is an artistic 
				masterpiece of deep yellow gold blushed & bordered with apricot 
				orange. A surprising bright yellow 'peacock' fan pattern on the 
				reverse of each petal gives this rose its name. Long stems with 
				deep green leaves carry each regal flower.  
				
				Note: 
				 Kathy 
				Dodson recently planted this new rose and has been reading that 
				it is a beautiful rose with exhibition potential.  |
