Dioressence, named after Dior’s perfume, has a pronounced fragrance. Large flowers appear in small clusters on a tall bush, so some classify it as a grandiflora. The blooms show a lilac tone, somewhat darker than many blue roses, and the variety remains limited in distribution. The foliage is large and bright green.
