Can appear yellow in cooler weather, hot orange in hotter weather. Very rounded petals. Brown spots can appear on the leaves. Branches are thin. Medium compact tree. One of the most misidentified flowers because it varies from seasonal changes to garden practices and light intensity. As a result of this variation, there are several names which add confusion to what the real flower is and looks like. Moderate orange, reddish, pinkish flower that changes color day to day. The slightly aromatic spicy petals are fully rounded and slightly overlapping. Balanced branching habit and prunes back nicely. Sun loving. Unique scent. One of a kind citrus scent. Fertilizer does a number to the color. Feed well and will bloom well. Orange color when the heat is on. Less susceptible to rust.

Varies greatly with sun exposure and perhaps the heat that comes along with mid-summer sun. Can attract white fly. Cuttings tend to shrivel. 2/3 of the tips usually bloom.
