| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Márk Gergely in Hungary around 2000 at Márk Rózsakertészet; introduced to the market in 2008, initially distributed internationally via PharmaRosa Ltd. as an own-root garden rose. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy plant reaching about 75–105 cm tall with a 50–70 cm spread; dense, glossy mid-green foliage and moderate thorns create a compact, structured shrub suited to beds and feature positions. |

| Colour data and phenology |
Delicate peach-pink buds open to pastel, light peachy pink flowers; colour gradually softens to powder pink in strong sun, with slightly glossy petal edges and an overall even, gentle tone in full bloom. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Moderate, clearly perceptible sweet fragrance with a soft, classic rose character; noticeable at close range on still days, contributing to sensory enjoyment without overwhelming small patio or front-garden spaces. |
| Hip characteristics |
Forms moderate numbers of small, spherical rose hips, around 6–10 mm in diameter; hips ripen to an attractive orange-red, adding subtle seasonal interest in late season when some spent blooms are left uncut. |
