Summer of 2014, a good year for wine and… roses!
This new variety comes from a cross-pollination in the summer of 2014. The code went through the strict selection process for several years, overcoming all the tests: excellent shape and color, no thorns, very elegant opening, a unique red tone in the cut roses panorama. Average stem lenght 50-80 cm. Completed with high productivity performances and resistance to diseases.
