Miniature.  

Red blend, white center.  None to mild fragrance.  17 to 25 petals.  Average diameter 1.25".  Small, double (17-25 petals), in small clusters bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, compact, upright.  Medium, matte, medium green foliage.  

Height: 14" to 20" (35 to 50cm).  Width: 1' to 16" (30 to 40cm).

USDA zone 4b and warmer.  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose, cut flower or garden.  Drought resistant.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Several large & long flushes of bloom, drought resistant.
