The bush reaches a height of 1–1.5 m and has strong, flexible shoots that open up under the weight of the crop, which facilitates mechanical harvesting. The plant shows high resistance to American powdery mildew, rust, and spring frosts.
Berries weighing from 0.9 to 1.2 g have a round shape and a glossy sheen. The fruits have a dessert-quality taste, contain about 240 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, and are characterized by good keeping quality and transportability. The variety is of universal use, suitable for fresh consumption and industrial processing.
