A robust and versatile shrub rose admired for its large, fragrant flowers in shades of pink, purple or white that bloom repeatedly throughout summer. Its crinkled, dark green foliage develops rich autumn colours, while the showy red rose hips add seasonal interest and attract wildlife. Exceptionally hardy and salt tolerant, it thrives in coastal areas and poor soils where other roses might struggle. The dense, bushy growth makes it ideal for informal hedging or as a tough, disease resistant specimen in mixed borders. A superb choice for gardeners seeking a low fuss rose that delivers beauty, fragrance and practical benefits in challenging conditions.
