This rose has an upright habit, much like a dwarfed version of 'Therese Bugnet'. The canes are very winter hardy even in zone 4 and have a nice purple coloration over winter it also inherited from its dad. It blooms abundantly throughout the growing season. Depending on the weather the blooms can appear a lighter mauve or purple. Often there are white streaks down some of the petals. It won a silver certificate in the American Rose Society American Rose Center Trials in Shreveport, Louisana. It has proven itself in the North and through this test also in the South.

You should get Heirlooms to grow it! We could use smaller North American hybrid types in the West.

From David's comments on the RHA, " Candy Oh! Vivid Red and Catherine Guelda share the same mother. It is a single blush polyantha that has a magenta margin that intensifies for a bit before it fades. Years ago I started some Angel Rose Poly seedlings from seed I got from Thompson and Morgan. I lived in Rhinelander, WI then (zone 3) and surprisingly a handful survived of the 80 seedlings (listed as zone 5 in the catalog). I intermated these and this seedling that is the female of both roses came into being. Unfortunately, I lost that plant during the few times I had to move my rose garden over the years."
