David Austin rose much loved by Southern California rosarians. This rose has almost all the qualites desired in this group of roses. These qualities include form, fragrance, outstanding color, a very attractive well behaved plant, stems which hold the bloom well, remarkable remontancy, and resistance to mildew. It could use bit more vigor, then again, one cannot have everything. As such its important to get a budded plant. Makes a lovely tree rose. Solid exhibition credentials.

In many US climates, this rose is not feeble or hard to grow, as Austin's comments imply. It is just slow growing because the shoots set flower buds immediately. It has a short, branching, twiggy plant habit and should not be pruned unnecessarily. Flowers of the highest quality come almost continuously, if not in great numbers. The foliage is resistant to mildew and somewhat resistant to blackspot. Unfortunately, it is rather tender, and canes may be damaged at around 5 degrees F. However, it can be grown as a small dieback plant in colder zones. From a cultural standpoint, it is rather like the dwarf tea-bourbons such as Souv. de la Malmaison, although maybe not so heat-loving.
