Rounded, thornless (or almost). Small, dark green, dense foliage. Height of 3' to 4' (90 to 120 cm). Width of 3' to 4' (90 to 120 cm).

USDA zone 6a and warmer. Can be used for container rose, garden, hedge, landscape or specimen. Prefers full sun. Disease susceptibility: disease resistant.

In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
Notes:
In his garden in Tyler, Texas, Mark Chamblee, of Chamblee's Rose Nursery, grows 'Belinda's Dream', 'Marie Daly', 'Marie Pavie', 'Livin' Easy', 'Easy Going', 'Knockout', and 'Mermaid'. Mark likes these varieties because "they have great hardiness and disease resistance, they are low maintenance and are very free blooming."
