Repeats.
Color:
Medium pink, shaded darker.
Fragrance:
Very Fragrant. When in bloom, it perfumes the entire yard.
Thorns:
Has dark prickles.
Approximate Height: 4’ x 4’ – in the South, it grows much taller and sprawls so it may be best grown with some kind of support.
(As can be seen in this picture, I
have it growing near a ten foot post which can support it.)
Description and Care:
Growth is of medium vigor. It
tends to form a narrow, upright bush with abundant light green leaves. The leaves are oval and pointed.
Comments:
This rose will survive with organic gardening methods, but needs good
soil and has a tendency towards black spot like most in its class. It is
still worth growing though and has gorgeous, fragrant blooms.
Breeding:
Zones: 4-10
