Kashmir Rose features showy lightly-scented red flowers at the ends of the branches from late spring to early fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has green deciduous foliage which emerges red in spring. The oval compound leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color.

Kashmir Rose will grow to be about 4 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.

This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
