The bush is twiggy, compact, ever-blooming. Blooms are short lived but rebloom is rapid, so it always seems to be in bloom. Prickles are rare on stems.
This nine-year old own-root plant has formed a rounded bush approx 3' (900mm) high and wide. It gets very little care, apart from a reliable water supply.
I love it for the way its blooms light up the garden, even in winter here.
