The variety has many advantages. In addition to the absence of thorns and the presence of beautiful flowers, the variety is so luxuriously and decoratively leafy that it is dangerous for other scrubs to compete with it. I think this is one of the the best roses for hedges. (G.Pankratova "Bulletin of the Florist" 2009)
