(EUROSA / Rosen Tantau 2007) A repeat flowering rambler which produces large clusters of lilac magenta flowers in late spring and, if dead headed after the first flash, again in the autumn and a few in between. Foliage is medium green, glossy and has shown an excellent resistance to fungal diseases. Basalt shoots are supple and can be easily trained horizontally on trellises, pillars, arches and gazebos.  Flowers are produced both on new shoots and side shoots on older wood. Once established it can provide a dense flowering thicket. It also makes an excellent weeping standard. This variety reaches a height of approx. 2.5 - 3.0 m.
