More information

Flowers are double, 10–12 cm; initially high-centered (“glass-like”), later opening to a cupped form. Color is described as neon orange or orange with a coral tinge. Fragrance is generally fruity, with intensity ranging from light to intense. Blooms appear singly or in clusters. Foliage is bright green and glossy; shoots are moderately prickly. The shrub is tall and upright, 120–160 cm high and 60–80 cm wide. For a more voluminous bush effect, plant in groups of 3 or more. Disease resistance varies by region; apply preventive treatments.

Known for a pure scarlet color uncommon among hybrid tea roses. Flowers are well-shaped, appearing usually singly or in broad candelabra-type clusters. Fragrance is light. Blooms abundantly throughout summer and autumn. In hot weather, petals often scorch in full sun. Used in beds and borders; the bush has a loose habit and is highly susceptible to powdery mildew. Foliage is small and matte. The lower part of the bush is denuded.
