Others are red, orange, and yellow rainbow with long petals. Wonderful blooms that are still fragrant. Blooms last pretty well. Hard to describe fragrance, almost peachy, not cinnamon like most reds. Light spicy on the long-petaled one.

Anecdotal Notes
Diana
One is probably a rename of Gulf Stream. More than one with this name, as one set of photos looks like Gulf Stream and another is a red, orange and yellow rainbow with long petals. Wonderful blooms and still fragrant. Hard to describe fragrance, almost peachy, not cinnamon like most reds. Fragrance is okay but the flowers are more than worth it. Blooms last pretty well. Brilliant yellow with strong red bands on front and back of narrow, pointed tips. Slightly overlapping petals. 4.5''. Long lasting blooms, mild lemon fragrance. Light spicy on the long petaled one.
