A shrub which towers over a few of my other roses giving welcome filtered shade
to some of my other more delicate rose bushes. It only flowers in spring and what a display it has then, this is followed by a myriad of hips, very eye catching too.
Suited to a mixed border of roses & perennials if you have the space.
Bred in Germany by Kordes in 1940, so its been around for a while.
