More information
Dr. Robert Basye developed Basye’s Purple Rose during experiments aimed at breeding thornless roses. The cultivar is very thorny and bears very dark blooms. The flowers are wine-red to purple; the stamens are likewise dark, with only the tips bright yellow. Blooms are single, borne in clusters of 3–7 until the first frosts, beginning with an abundant first flush. Hips form rarely. The shrub is vigorous, with thick, rigid, fountain-shaped shoots. The leaves are long, bright green, and disease resistant. On its own roots it produces many suckers.
