This
vigorous climber can attain 25 feet in just a few years. Like most
of the wichuraiana bred roses, it has long thin pliable canes that
are virtually thornless and easy to work with. It is an excellent
candidate for a pergola or large structure. The blooms are small (about
2 inches), extremely full and a soft powder pink color. Cooler climates
will produce coppery pink blooms. Fragrance is moderate and similar
to that of green apples. Leaves are very small and a dark green glossy
color. This is a one time a year bloomer.
