'Tiffany' is a medium upright shrub, 3 to 4 ft (90—121 cm) in height with a 2 to 3 ft (60—90 cm) spread. Blooms have an average diameter of 4 to 5 in (10—12 cm) with 25 to 30 petals. Flowers are rose pink with yellow and salmon-pink hues, and a paler pink reverse. [2] Flowers have a strong, fruity fragrance. Blooms are large and have a high-centered, very double bloom form. Flowers are borne mostly solitary or in small clusters of 3 to 4 flowers, with dark green leaves. The plant's long, sturdy stems make it a popular cutting rose. The plant is vigorous, very disease resistant and blooms in flushes from spring through autumn. It thrives in USDA zone 7b through 9b.[3]
