Variety description

10 August 2026

The shrub reaches a height and width of 1.2–1.5 m. The shoots are upright and devoid of thorns. The foliage is dark green, glossy, and oval or oblong in shape.

The flowers are large, up to 5 cm in diameter, and resemble camellia in appearance. Flowering occurs in early spring on the previous year's shoots, before the leaves appear; a repeat wave is possible at the end of summer.

The variety withstands temperature drops down to -25°C and corresponds to USDA hardiness zones 5–9. It is resistant to lodging but may be susceptible to fungal diseases, scab, and fire blight.
