The variety is a trailing plant with flexible canes 3–5 meters long. The bush is of moderate vigor, and the canes are covered with small thorns. The plant requires mandatory tying to trellises.
Fruiting begins in June–July and continues for 6–8 weeks. The berries are black with a glossy sheen, reaching 4–5 cm in length; the average weight is 10–11 g, with a maximum of up to 17 g. The flavor is dessert-like, sweet with a hint of acidity.
The variety has moderate resistance to downy mildew and gray mold. Winter hardiness is low; at temperatures below -16 °C, mandatory covering of the canes and buds is required.
