Texas Peach
Colors

Description
Texas Peach, from Mark Terrill, has the seed pod parent Courtade Pink and is suspected to be pollinated by Aztec Gold. The strong fragrance of freshly cut ripe peaches remains dominant though complex, with the peach note competing with other scent layers for the high note. Petals carry a violet blush along the outer edges and are heavy, so flowers hold their form and fragrance long after falling to the ground.

Strong, complex scent of freshly cut ripe peaches, with the peach as a dominant high note among other notes.
