This is a rose that grows favorably in hot, dry climates. The flowers are folded, with numerous petals and the color can range from peach to yellow-lemon. The fragrance is very pleasant. The leaves are pale green and the plant is vigorous, with robust spines boasting in a deep red color. In spite of being imposing, this rose is susceptible to attacks of mildew and black spot.
