Deciduous shrub. Can be pruned as a small tree rose. Usually kept as a 3 foot bush. Sets the standard for the high-centered classical form. Its huge pointed buds spiral open like a fine ballerina in a costume of summering pinks. The large flowers are carried on stout long stems with tough leaves. Established plants give best bloom in spring. Moderate water needs in well-drained soil once established.
