                    Grandiflora • cv. WEKspodotogi • Pat.#32,822
        State of Grace exemplifies the improved modern antique style.
        The stylish, attractive old-fashioned soft apricot gold blossoms
        with a dark pink reverse are as beautiful in the garden as in a
        vase. The old-rose romance, style and fragrance was maintained
        but we improved the disease-resistance and ensured the plant is
        very well-balanced with a rounded even habit that is not too tall
        and rangy so you can still enjoy the prolifically produced blooms
        at eye level.
