Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to a group of almost completely thornless roses. Depending on growing conditions and pruning, the plant can develop as a vigorous shrub or a climbing form with a height from 80–100 cm to over 2 meters. The shoots have practically no thorns, with the exception of rare cases of them appearing at the base of strong stems.

The flowers have a rich purple-red or crimson hue. The plant is characterized by dense glossy dark green foliage. The variety is distinguished by good disease resistance and abundant prolonged flowering throughout the entire season, starting from late spring.

Due to the absence of thorns and its decorative qualities, the variety is suitable for use in recreational areas, near garden paths and arches, as well as for growing in containers, creating hedges, or for cut flowers.
