Notes:
This rose is part of ‘Heavy Beauty Roses TM' rose collection - roses which are both super-hardy, and I hope fit the aesthetic needs of today's gardeners. Using numerous species or their closely-related cultvars, brought many expected effects, one of them is a tremendous tolerance to drought. Heavy Beauty Roses love challenges and can be planted at the places where no any other rose would grow.
