Another of the four 'Stud" Chinas. Cherry red, rounded flowers on slender wood, dancing on the breeze. This rose is almost always in bloom.  No fragrance, but the color is very cheerful.

Like most China roses, it takes a few years to build up to any size. 2003 is it's third year and it is beginning to throw much more substantial basal shoots. I have a feeling it's going to do some pretty serious growing this year.
