Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a dense rounded shrub 100–120 cm in height with sturdy, densely thorny shoots. The foliage is typical for the Rugosa group, but is distinguished by smaller size and a brownish hue in the autumn period.

The flowers, 5–6 cm in diameter, have a semi-double cupped shape and are gathered in large inflorescences of 2 to 20 flowers. The petal color varies from pale pink to almost white as they age, and the fragrance contains notes of myrrh.

The variety is remontant and flowers on the shoots of previous years and current year growth. The crop is resistant to rain and diseases, produces almost no root suckers, and forms practically no rose hips.
