Justice Miniature Roses says this rose has true red outer petals that curl attractively and a pure white eye that accents the thick clump of stamens... it seems to do well in any climate and is nearly disease free...
Nickelodeon was removed from the Auckland Regional Botanic Gardens (ARBG) Display Trial because it was a poor performer and too close to totara.
