A variety of typical Old Rose beauty, bearing large, very full, deeply cupped flowers of soft glowing pink, gradually turning lilac-pink over time. They are held elegantly poised on the branches with the greyish-green foliage. There is a pleasing fragrance with a hint of myrrh. It will form a large shrub or can be trained as a short climber.
