Comments: A big arching plant, wider than it is tall. When in full bloom, the small to medium flowers cover the arching canes and lateral growth. I have seen this rose in person in full bloom and it is amazing. Thousands of blooms at once in the bush that I saw. If you want a great shrub show, this is the rose for you. Blooms a bit later in the season than most roses.
