The incurved petals create a captivating display of light and shadow. Its strong Old Rose fragrance is enhanced by notes of almond blossom, cucumber, and lemon zest. Its compact shrub size makes it ideal for borders, hedges, and container gardening. Highly recommended for its beauty and versatility.
