Breeder's notes:

Flowers of this rose remind us of those of Chinese milk-vetch (Astragalus sinicus. Its compact growth and floriferousness make it an ideal rose to be planted in a pot. It will also fit a Japanese garden, since it has a look in common with that of a wild plant. (Mr. Akira Ogawa, Miss Yuki Mikanagi, and Mr. Hironobu Mitomi)
