Breeder's notes:
Listed as a tetraploid, as it is almost certainly so, given parentage. As is the case with most so-called "brown" roses, this one leans towards a rusty orange with a smoky overlay in hot weather, and deepens considerably to a dark rusty brown/russet in cooler months. At times it is very much like a miniature version of 'Jocelyn'.

This has a sister seedling, 58-06-05, which is more generous with flowers, more inclined to produce in clusters, and is a more consistently deep russet hue. See:
