More information

Ruby-red, densely undulate, globular blooms borne in small inflorescences.
Toward the center of the bloom, the petals become narrow and, as they gradually open, expose the “heart” of the rose—a cluster of underdeveloped, thread-like petals colored yellow-green. This characteristic is due to abnormal development (phyllody).
Strong fragrance with damask and old rose notes, plus fruit, pepper, and vanilla.
Leaves are light green, with resistance to diseases.
Flowering occurs throughout the season.
No data available on the habitus of the bush.
