This rose is a result of the combination of the Rosa ‘Prima Ballerina’ and Rosa ‘Monteauma’ parents, and has won several prestigious awards, including induction into the Rose Hall of Fame as “World’s Favourite Rose” in 1981. This medium-tall, upright shrub can grow between 3 to 7 feet (91-152cm) tall and has a spread of 3 to 4 feet (90-121cm). The blooms are very large, measuring 6 inches (15cm) in diameter, and feature a high centered, full bloom form withup to 40 petals. They are borne singly on short stems or in small clusters of 3-7. The flowers start as a bright orange-coral and mature to an unusual purplish hue. The rose is accompanied by large, dark green foliage and is known for its strong, citrus, damask fragrance. Additionally, it is very prickly and blooms in flushes throughout its growing season.
