Deep pink.  Pink blooms are open and cupped to show off lovely yellow stamens with a touch of white at the base of the petals.  None to mild fragrance.  Average diameter 2".  Medium, semi-double (9-16 petals), cluster-flowered, in small clusters bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, spreading, well-branched.  Medium, glossy foliage.  

Height: 3' to 5' (90 to 150cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for garden, ground cover or landscape.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  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.
