We have tried to summarize the characteristics of roses based on many years of experience in the location of northern Germany. This experience was gained at normal rose locations, which are naturally more demanding for hybrid tea roses than for small shrub roses (groundcover roses). Therefore, depending on the location, the growth results may vary in one direction or another. Therefore, our indications serve as guidelines.

= Rose variety is quite frost hardy. We recommend this variety also for cold locations. Winter protection is recommended. |
