| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright bush with dense, dark green glossy foliage, moderate prickles; typical height 60–80 cm with 40–60 cm spread, forming a structurally coherent bed or edging plant in professional plantings. |
| Flower morphology |
Very full, double cup-shaped flowers with more than 40 petals, medium size (approximately 1.5–2.75 inches), produced in clusters; remontant with particularly abundant second flush under appropriate culture. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Inner petals deep crimson-red, outer surfaces golden yellow; buds crimson with golden sheen, colour lightens slightly to salmon tones with very good retention, giving rich, stable bicolour display from bud to full bloom. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is very weak and barely perceptible, with no notable scent character; highly double flowers mainly serve ornamental colour display rather than fragrance-led specification in planting schemes. |

Due to very double blooms, hip set is generally minimal; occasional small spherical orange-red hips 7–10 mm in diameter may form but are not a dominant ornamental or production feature. |

Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b), suitable for cold and exposed UK conditions with appropriate site selection. |
