This classic rose impresses with its sophisticated appearance and impeccable flower shape. Its perfectly formed buds of deep dark red open slowly, maintaining an exquisite glass-like shape with a high centre. Even in full bloom, the rose does not reveal the centre, which makes it particularly attractive to gardeners.

The dense, velvety petals shimmer in the sun, playing with rich shades of scarlet, burgundy and dark cherry. Their expressive colour contrasts effectively with the dark green, glossy foliage, giving the bush a special decorative effect.

The rose forms a compact, neat bush with sturdy, erect shoots. Its high resistance to unfavourable conditions — heat, frost, prolonged rain and diseases — makes this variety a reliable choice for any garden.

A distinctive feature is its very early flowering, ahead of many other varieties. The rose looks great both in single plantings and in flower groups, creating a bright accent in the garden. In cut flowers keep fresh for a long time, which makes this variety a favourite among florists and lovers of classic roses.

Flowering: lush, repeated, in waves. Blooms in single flowers or in inflorescences of 3−5 pieces.

Colour: red

Disease resistance: good

Choice of planting location:

Roses are sun-loving plants, so choose locations that are sunny most of the day. Make sure that the location is protected from the wind.

*The female name given to the rose is not a variety name. A rose is like a woman, beautiful, elegant and unique, so each one inspired us for a woman’s name as well.
