The rose grows to around 120 cm high and blooms frequently. The strong fruity scented flowers have a diameter of around 12 cm and 30 to 35 petals. They appear singly and in clusters with up to 5 flowers on long stems.
'Super Star' is quite prickly, has large leaves and is hardy down to −29 ° C ( USDA zone 5 ), but somewhat susceptible to powdery mildew .
In 1971 Boerner introduced the Sport Climbing Super Star (syn. Climbing Tropicana ).
