Description
The medium-sized, cup-shaped flowers are in large clusters. The foliage is dark green, the shoots are slender and almost thornless. Forms a bushy, upright plant of an attractive shape, sometimes bends under the heavy flower clusters, so it should be pruned well and/or supported a little during flowering. The anemone like, light flowers have their own charm and impress with their non-fading deep pink hue.
The most remarkable thing about the rose, however, is its particularly intense autumn bloom, which often begins when all other roses have finished blooming.
