A very vigorous, upright, well-branched shrub rose that is disease resistant and perfect for beds, borders, or as a flowering hedge. A great rose for cutting too.
- Grows up to 2-5 ft. tall (60-150 cm) and 2 ft. wide (60 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds and borders, containers or as a flowering hedge. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in 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
- Bred by Meilland International (France, 1994).
