Lovely, strong grower with thick canes and if allowed some space and not pruned down too low, it produces masses of very well-shaped, powerfully fragrant roses of an unusual but very attractive dark magenta colour which has a glowing quality. The blooms are very full and still look good even when fully open. The blooms aren't the largest but this is more than made up by the masses of fragrant flowers and very quick repeating habit - mine is hardly ever without flowers except between pruning and the first spring flush.
