More information
A climbing rose. Vigorous canes reach up to 3 m in height; with regular pruning the bush remains compact, and additional inflorescences form on the top and lateral shoots. In July they cover the plant completely. Thereafter the flowering is less abundant but continuous. Double, cup-shaped, soft pink flowers are almost 10 cm in diameter. As they age, the blooms lighten; in bright sunlight they become almost white, revealing an “eye” of yellow stamens. They have a faint apple fragrance. Light green foliage matures to dark, glossy leaves. Susceptible to black spot.
