This beautiful hybrid tea rose from New Zealand is known especially for its elegant appearance. Blooms are a luminous yellow that open to 4 1/2 inches wide. The fragrance is light and spicy. The plant is vigorous, upright, grow to 6 feet tall, and is a generous bloomer. Long stems and long duration in the vase make it a superb cut flower as well. Curiously enough, 'Aperitif' is often listed in catalogs as 'Apertif.' Oh, well, a rose by any other name....
