Breeder's notes:
With this cross I was hoping to produce seedlings with excellent disease resistance and good winter hardiness. Disease resistance for this variety is excellent and the cold hardiness is very good. The blooms are borne repeatedly throughout the growing season with a very good form - especially in the fall.
This rose is one of the reasons I wish I had a more discerning nose. I smell many different individual notes but the overall vibe of the scent is something close to nice, freshly cleaned cotton
