    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "This seedling of ‘Kirsten Poulsen’ displays bright, bicolored pink single roses which are produced in large clusters. This rose bush is extremely popular in the North due to its cold hardiness and prolific blooming habit. We like its upright and bushy growth."
