Orange-red. Strong fragrance. 50 petals. Medium, very full (41+ petals), high-centered to cupped bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season.
Habit:
Glossy foliage.

USDA zone 6b and warmer. Vigorous. 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.
Notes:
From email: The bush grows to about 4' and makes a stunning display in the landscape. Best of all, the flowers last well in the vase, too!
