Breeder's notes:
It is an open pollinated seedling of 'Louise Bugnet'. The shrub is growing to about 4' high and 3' wide. The flowers are midsize and start coming early (here in Sweden in mid June). Flowering continues well into September. Unfortunately the flowers are almost scentless. There are no hips as the flowers are extremely full. The rose is very hardy, I would guess to zone 3 or even 2, and thrives even in sandy soil.
Kind regards, Helena Verghese Borg
