The flowers are small and single, held in very large heads rather like a hydrangea and produced almost continuously from early summer through to the end of the season. The young buds are soft apricot opening to pure white, with a hint of soft lemon behind the stamens. The flowers are followed by small red hips which should be removed to encourage repeat-flowering. It is extremely healthy and completely thornless - an unusual thing among roses. There is a slight musk fragrance.
