More information

The flowers range from medium to intense pink. Rain tolerance is low. Blooms are large, with a pronounced high center characteristic of hybrid tea roses. Each flower has about 40 petals and reaches up to 10 cm in diameter at full opening. The variety is cultivated chiefly for its very strong fragrance. Bloom quantity is moderate and lower than in many other modern rose varieties. Late-season flowering is maintained. Shade tolerance is poor; full sun is preferred. Leaves are dark green with a slight reddish cast, and foliage is abundant. Under unfavorable growing conditions, the variety can be affected by powdery mildew to a degree that necessitates chemical control. Best used in flowerbeds and borders. Bushes are fast-growing, reaching about 1.2 m in height and 75 cm in width, providing a background for the flowers.

In this variety, flower color is deep pink and the fragrance is very intense. Flowers comprise about 40 petals; young blooms show a goblet-shaped center that later becomes cup-shaped. Flowering continues through summer and autumn. The bush is compactly shaped, vigorous, upright, and of medium height. Foliage is susceptible to black spot.
