It is said to perform best in hot, low-humidity climates, and in moist climates to get some black spot without defoliating.
Salmon pink 2.5" flowers with amber/copper shading. 50 petals, informal, cupped form with a button eye. Blooms generously in clusters, continuously throughout the season.
Habit is short, lax, and trailing, 12-18" tall. This could be considered a ground cover rose (though I think no roses make good ground covers).
One parent was the Wichurana rambler 'Jersey Beauty'.
