Varies-canes living from 8 inches to 2 feet in the spring.

Only slightly susceptible to mildew and spot.

Exceptionally strong and vigorous Long and of good strength. 26 inches. 6 eyes, unless to be used for garden decoration or hedge, when dead wood only should be cut. In midseason strong growth of three feet and over should have 6 to 12 inches removed, as this will insure more fall bloom with this variety.

Fine rose for garden decoration. Does particularly well on the Pacific Coast.
