    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "Open, semi-double flowers with slightly rectangular petals of an intense blood red are succeeded in the Fall on this handsome little shrub by large, showy orange hips. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and the habit is quite open unless the plant is encouraged to fullness by hard pruning. Like most Floribundas, ‘Lichterloh’ is a bright, showy rose which will enhance any garden or border."
