The large, old-rose type blooms are carmine-pink on the inside and cream or ivory on the outside, reaching an average diameter of 3" (10 cm).

The tall shrub rose or a small climber grows upright and bushy, reaching 100 to 365 cm (39" to 12') height and about 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) width.

It is winter hardy (USDA zone 5b through 9b), heat and rain tolerant, and very disease resistant, but needs a good nutrient supply and enough sun.

[6] It can be grown as solitary shrub or in groups, in containers or as standard rose to 90 cm (3 ft) high,[6] and is very well suited for cut flowers.

Due to its bowing flower heads, training the rose as a small climber along a fence or other supports is recommended.
