I absolutely adore this regal rose who accompanies 'Nuits de Young' in our dusky purple planting. In contrast to the old mosses this heavy, fragrant flower head stands on an insignificant, spindly stem. It is almost impossible to define the glorious intensity of it's crimson blooms; neither words or pictures provide a true reflection of it's beauty. Surprisingly this is a modern rose, although the fabulous colour & heady fragrance are inherited through a long line of old crimson roses, originating in a cross between Tuscany & Dusky Maiden. I would recommend anyone to grow this fabulous rose, it's blooms never disappoint!
