This rose is "vase" shaped which makes it easier to work around or plant companion plants around it. I have been wanting to plant a purple clematis to ramble through the stems and flowers. They start out a medium, warm yellow and then, shades of orange develop into the 2 1/2" to 3" blooms.
It has some fragrance, but I wouldn't say "strong" fragrance - maybe "medium".
Foliage is rather insignificant-but hey, it's mostly disease resistant.

This is one of my favorite Austin roses. It's got a nice compact habit and blooms non-stop all season. It's got a light fragrance and a bright, lovely color. It's one of the most diesease-resistant Austin's I have.
