Details
Fully double, old rose 4" blooms (petals 60+) which open flat and quartered are filled with velvety petals of rich, deep violet purple. Marvelous heady fragrance. Peter Beales says that this is his favorite of all the Hybrid Perpetuals. A large, upright repeat blooming bush with grey-green foliage. Virtually thorn-less. One of the most sought after old roses.
