Medium, climbing, dense, well-branched, average prickles.  Medium, glossy, dark green, maroon highlights foliage.  5 to 7 leaflets.  

Height: 3' to 15' (90 to 455cm).  Width: 3' to 4' (90 to 120cm).

Can be used for beds and borders, garden, landscape or pillar.  Very vigorous.  can be grown as a shrub.  can be trained as a climber.  drought resistant.  Disease susceptibility: disease resistant.  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.  

This is basically a semi-double, climbing, once-blooming, healthier version of Gemini. It is a true gem and if once-blooming ramblers were still popular, I am sure this could have been introduced to much fanfare instead of being used mostly as breeding stock. For anyone wanting to try this one out, please let me know as I think you would truly enjoy it.

Triploid

Unique looking foliage that suggests hybridity. Might be a good breeder rose for disease resistance.
