The variety was obtained by crossing the 'Loch Ness' variety and the breeding line SCRI 82417D. The bush forms vigorous thornless canes 3–4 meters long, sometimes reaching 5 meters, which require mandatory tying to a trellis due to the semi-trailing growth habit.
The fruiting period occurs in June–July. The fruits are characterized by a sweet taste with a slight acidity, have good transportability and a weight of 4–5 to 8–12 g. The variety is susceptible to purple blotch, but shows resistance to gray mold.
In regions with temperate and cold climates, the plant requires mandatory covering of the root system and canes for the winter period.
