A charming variety from the 1920s for those who like single blooms on an upright, tall and broad-growing shrub.
Irregularly shaped edges of the soft pink blooms form a charming flower together with the golden-brown stamens. The blooms are about 10 cm in size and appear in several flushes in clusters. They have a moderately strong, spicy fragrance.
A great rose that also finds its place in modern gardens.
