This plant is a shrub rose with a trailing habit and glossy dark green leaves. It often blooms out of season and is useful as a pillar rose. The flowers are cupped, fully double, magenta, and scented. It blooms in early summer and again in fall. As a shrub, it grows to 4 feet high, but because of its trailing habit, it can be used as a 10-foot climber. The scented flowers dictate a placement near the house.
