Colour amaranth with pale reverse. Buds often on s-shaped stems. Bloom form: very double, with cupped guard petals. Usually borne singly. Some prickles. Does not set hips. Susceptible to mildew. Scent; depends on observer; sometimes light Tea scent, not particularly pleasant. Observer who had lost her sense of smell says this is the only rose she can smell, and it is sweet.

Similar to, but not the same as the rose in commerce in Australia as 'Princesse de Sagan' - 'Professeur Ganiviat'
