The "Choral" rose is a small woody flowering plant with a short growth habit. Even when planted in the ground and left to grow freely, it only reaches about 80 centimeters in height. It has excellent uprightness and branching, grows quickly, is resistant to pruning, and is highly adaptable. When grown in pots, its height can be controlled to between 30 and 50 centimeters, forming a compact, rounded shape with almost no thorns. This makes it very suitable for viewing in gardens and on balconies.
Unlike the large, brightly colored hybrid tea roses, the "Choral" rose takes a different route. Its flowers are not large, with a diameter of around 7 to 10 centimeters, and have a fully double bloom form. The petals are densely layered and rounded, somewhat resembling peonies. The flower color is more unique, with the surface layer being deep purple and the back of the petals pale white. The interplay of purple and white, especially the mysterious and elegant purple, creates a striking visual effect in sunlight. This particular shade of purple is quite rare in nature.
