    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "Although seldom achieving the height of four feet that most reference books proclaim, 'Rose à Parfum de l'Hay' is a welcome addition to our garden. Cherry red blossoms with a strong fragrance decorate this dense bush and are a nice accent to the dark green foliage. The smaller growth habit allows for its use where other Rugosas may be overpowering."
