[1] It is probably a cross between Dot's pink hybrid tea 'La Giralda' (introduced in 1926) and the wild rose species Rosa pimpinellifolia var.

[1] The single to semi-double flowers have an open bloom form with an average diameter of 4″ to 5″ (10 to 13 cm),[1][2][3] and grow on short stems.

The long, arching shoots have a dark chocolate brown colour, few prickles,[4] and are entirely covered with blooms during the first flowering flush.

[5] The vigorous cultivar tolerates rain and poorer soils,[4] is very hardy down to −37 °C (USDA zone 3b and warmer), and generally disease resistant, but can be susceptible to black spot.

'Nevada' is suitable for plantation in woodland areas or near water, and can be grown as solitaire shrub, in small groups, as hedge, or trained as a climber.
