My Miranda bush is only 2 years old, but it is already quite large, about 1 m high. Flowers on it are massively formed, strewn with all thorny shoots. With its flowering, the rose pleases from June to October, with a short break in August. The only drawback of this variety is its weak aroma. The rest of the rose is excellent.
