Leaves are very dark green with purple red hues. This rose is very healthy and resistant against common rose diseases. Introduced in 1996.Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high.
