- Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society and 1994 All-America Rose Selection – the most prestigious rose award in the USA
- Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm) with a 2-3 ft. spread (60-90 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds, borders, flowering hedges, or containers. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils. For best flowering apply a balanced fertilizer and mulch in late winter or early spring and a balanced fertilizer again in early summer.
- Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
- Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer.
- Bred by Roger Pawsey (United Kingdom, 1972).
