This rose requires the sun to make its rich, golden blooms that blush first orange and then age to deep red in the sun. Without enough sunlight, the flowers will be pale yellow with little to no blush. The bush grows quickly, making 3 foot or longer canes.

The branches do tend to bend under their own weight; and the plant is not generous with its flowers, considering its size. The blooms are usually borne one-to-a-stem with foliage that may be slightly too big in comparison to the flowers.
