More information
The origin of this purple rose is undocumented. It is recorded as having come from L’Haÿ-les-Roses in the 1950s without a name and is considered an old rose whose original name was lost. Blooms open dark pink or crimson, then fade to purple, deepen further in purple, and finally approach almost blue. The flowers are densely petalled and borne in tight clusters of 10–30. Shoots are nearly thornless, and the foliage is small.
Opening blooms are dark pink or crimson, shifting first to purple, then a deeper purple, and finally to aspic-blue; the overall tone is dark purple. Many blooms display white streaks radiating from the center. Flowers are fairly large (6–7 cm), full, flat rosettes with dense petalling. They appear in dense, medium-sized clusters. Shoots are almost without thorns; the foliage is small and dense. The shrub reaches 4 m.
