The large, globular flowers, porcelain pink in colour, bloom singly on long stems. They are excellent cut flowers. This old tea hybrid with an upright habit is a good repeat bloomer and its bright green foliage requires only routine protection against disease. Full of charm and with a powerful old rose fragrance, this variety deserves a place in the collector's garden.
Rose dedicated to a Russian soldier. The Ketten Frères rose growers regularly travelled to Saint Petersburg to plant the Tsar's gardens with Luxembourg roses.
