... A new variety of Shrub rose suitable for garden decoration, having large clusters of flowers of pastel pink coloration... Parentage: Amruda x HOLfairy... about 10 to about 15 petals... medium small flowers (about 4.4 to about 5 cms. in diameter) of pastel pink... Outdoors, the plant blooms very abundantly and nearly continuously during the growing season. The flowers have a very slight tea fragrance... On the spent bloom, the petals drop off cleanly... [cut flowers]: generally last about three to four or more days... Hips have not been noted on this variety when grown in Upland, California...
Notes:
In Southern California, this Shrub Rose repeats very well if deadheaded.
It appears to be immune to mildew, rust, cercospora, anthracnose and downy mildew.
It even has a nice vase life, if cut fairly tight.
A terrific rose!
