(The Shrub species) Vivid, single blooms of deep cerise-pink blaze along arching stems in summer, their silken petals forming an almost theatrical display of unabashed colour. Even as the flowers fade, this captivating rose continues to earn its place in the garden, producing an generous crop of large, sealing-wax red hips that glow like lanterns well into autumn — a nod, of course, to the variety's evocative name.
