    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "This cheery rose is sure to brighten any space. Small, tapered, yet pointed buds open to five-petalled rose-pink blooms reminiscent of apple blossoms. The bush is ideally suited as a low hedge if planted closely together, as it is compact, full, and almost always in bloom. We have seen beautiful mass plantings of this rose in the East."
