Supposedly a sport from 'Rose du Roi' to which it is very similar but with rich purple flowers. Rather spreading growth habit. Strong fragrance and good repeating.

English Shrub Rose Bred By David Austin
This is a variety of very different character from the general run of English Roses, being rather closer to the Species Roses than to the Old Roses and more natural and shrubby in growth.
