A rose that is one of the earliest to bloom in the Springtime. It is a compact shrub that produces strongly fragrant, recurrent, large, double white, yellow eyed, and ruffled petal roses. It has an interesting shaped foliage where the leaves are wrinkly and an olive-green color, and reddish brown stems. It is part of the old-fashioned shrub rose group of roses, and is also considered one of the hardiest and resistant to disease.

This is a high maintenance shrub that will require regular care and upkeep. Best pruned in late winter. It will grow to be about 4 ft in maturity, with a spread of 4 ft. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. Once established will be drought tolerant.
