More information
Introduced in 1970, this rose remains widely used as a bedding rose worldwide, except in the USA. It grows quickly and performs in a wide range of climatic conditions. The blooms are pink, initially showing a salmon tint that later fades to pure pink. The flowers have an old-style form, sometimes with many concentric rounded petals around a white center, and sometimes with a center made up of small cut-out petals. Blooms appear in clusters of 3–7; flowering is very abundant and early. The foliage is dark, glossy, and healthy, and the shoots are almost without thorns. A pleated form is known.
The variety is particularly common in Australia, South Africa, and continental Europe, but is not sold in the UK and USA. Pointed salmon-pink buds open into semi-marginal flowers. They appear singly or in clusters, are lightly scented, and after the main bloom the plant continues to produce new buds throughout summer and autumn. The shrub is dense enough for use as a hedge. The bush is branched, spreading, of medium height, with shiny bright green foliage. The shoots are almost hairless. A pleated variety exists.
