A new Polish cultivar from 2006 with a compact growth habit and a long flowering period (June - September). Flowers are red-purple on the outside and beige inside, and have a strong agreeable scent. Ornamental red fruits (August - October). Small leaves, purple-green when young, turn green with age. Stems twine round the supports. Succeeds in moderately fertile soil as long as it’s not too dry or acid. In May it’s often subject to attack by aphides, especially in excessively dry or hot positions. Suitable for growing over, fences, trellises, various supports, or among other plants.
Particularly useful in small gardens, in places where we often spend time, close to windows, doors r benches.
