| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright bush reaching approximately 130–170 cm in height with an 80–120 cm spread, moderately thorny canes and moderately dense, dark green, glossy foliage that presents well in both beds and premium container formats. |
| Flower morphology |

| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is very weak, classed as barely scented; no detailed scent character or cosmetic use is recorded, and the double flower form primarily supports ornamental and exhibition value rather than fragrance-focused applications. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally limited due to deadheading of double blooms; where present, hips are ellipsoid, orange-red, around 6–10 mm in diameter, and have minor ornamental relevance in most professional production scenarios. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated H7 with approximate hardiness between -26 and -23 °C, Swedish Zone 4 and USDA 5b; resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, with moderate heat tolerance requiring irrigation in prolonged drought. |
