Means golden line. A very large medium to dark red and golden yellow with an overlapping pattern of very dark red veins radiating from the centre to the ends. In cooler climates a rich orange gold with the overlapping dark red veins. Wonderful sweet fragrance. Strong fruity with berries. Very vivid orange color. Heavy contrast and a mild spicy fragrance. Intense solar radiation makes the red so black and petals deform. Petal tips are normally rounded--not pointy, and, most blooms also have quite a bit more orange. They are very heavy textured--feel almost like wax with their stiff petals. Also a sweet, floral fragrance. My plant is a rooted cutting and around 4 years old or so, and about 5 feet tall. Medium sweet fruit scent. Leaves and stems are green. Very cold sensitive and hard to grow.
