Bred by Ray Ponton (United States, 2005).

Shrub.  

Dark red.  None to mild fragrance.  4 to 11 petals.  Average diameter 3".  Medium, single (4-8 petals), in small clusters bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, spreading.  Medium, semi-glossy, light green foliage.  

Height: up to 4' (up to 120cm).  

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for garden, landscape or shrub.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
