Breeder's notes:
It is highly unusual that a single flower with only five petals leaves such a lasting impression to everyone who sees it for the first time. This truly unique rose, always in bloom, showcases its golden stamens as very few other roses do. A multiple Gold winner awards over the last couple of years, its uniqueness makes it the natural follow up to The Imposter in the highly popular Garden Compass program. This rose may need pruning from time to time as it has the tendency to get wild once in a while, or can be trained as a small climber.
