The name may be delicate but this rose really packs a punch with its double puffs of light pink flowers in profuse clusters, reblooming from late spring to fall. A polyantha type, compact and disease resistant, a 4' x 4', busy plant with some wispy, climbing-type branches and stems that are quite slender, slightly zig-zaggy, and very thorny! -- a rugged quality that avoids dollhouse cuteness. Sun to part shade and summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4.
