Bright ruby-cerise that blues as it ages. The blooms are smaller, about 2 inches, in clusters, and have a light sweet scent. It is a charming rose with nice foliage.

July 6, 2012: this rose is showing some problems with one of the other blackspot diseases, some of the leaves are turning yellow with one or two large black spots, it is not blackspot. I'll have to keep on spraying even in this hot dry weather, it is about 70F overnight, but 100+ and we are watering just about daily.
