        Description
        Produces large, closely packed clusters of small, cupped flowers. They open purple-magenta with a white centre, occasionally streaked white too, each with an attractive boss of bright yellow stamens. As the blooms age, they fade to lilac-grey – appearing almost blue on occasions. There is a fresh, fruity scent with rich orange notes. The growth is rather stiff and almost thornless. Schmidt, 1869.

        Outstanding rose!

        This spectacular rambler covers the rose arch with a mass of blooms every year. The small, delicate flowers display gradient of colour from pink to deep reddish-purple, with bright yellow stamens. The rose is permanently covered in bees, heavy with the nectar. The scent can only be described as closer to Lily of the valley than a rose: it is gentle and fills the air on a warm day.
