    Bare root planted in November 2023, so far:

    - Very fast to repeat flowers, a literal flowering machine
    - Lovely fragrance
    - OK disease resistance
    - Compact growth habit
    - Heat tolerant

    But:

    - Flowers are rather small (no larger than 6cm)
    - The plant itself lacks vigour, maybe due to poor soil

    Overall a very nice recent creation from DA

    I find this to have a delicious scent, perhaps of the damask type, with just a hint of what they call myrrh..

    The colour of the blooms, which tolerate heavy rain quite well, I would describe as a bright, hot pink, fading to candyfloss pink.. Of such luminous quality that it can probably be seen from the International Space Station..

    Might need careful placing..
