Breeder's notes:
This is an outstanding compact rose of mine with a frilly English rose style flower. It's colour is peach tinged pink at the petals edge depending on weather. Foliage is ultra glossy and highly resistant to disease. Named for the city of Coquitlam near my home as part of a program to encourage more people to garden and enjoy roses.
