More information
Flowers are not large, lilac-lilac in color—a rare shade for polyanthus roses—with occasional small longitudinal white stripes on the petals; double, and borne in large inflorescences. The variety was obtained by crossing a dwarf polyanthus rose with a re-blooming (remontant) hybrid tea variety, resulting in long, repeated flowering from spring to the first frosts. Notable traits include abundant, continuous blooming; resistance to cold; tolerance of excessive soil moisture; and disease resistance. The fragrance is subtle. Bushes are low, compact, and spreading, with bright green, fine foliage.
