More information
Large, cup-shaped blooms with densely waved petals open a rich dark red and mature to a deep purple. The shrub is vigorous, bushy, and upright, with a strong rose-oil fragrance.
Falstaff shows a dark crimson color that is initially bright and intense, later shifting to a muted purple. Flowers are cup-shaped with short, twisted petals, usually forming a loose rosette, sometimes flattening or showing a button eye. They are borne singly or in dense clusters of up to 5 on fairly long shoots; pedicels can be weak, causing the blooms to nod. The foliage is dark and can be susceptible to black spot. Responds well to deadheading.
The flowers are large and wide-open, cup-shaped, with numerous small petals that curl toward the center, creating a broad, open bloom with paler outer petals. The initial tone is rich red-raspberry; the outer petals then pale and the entire flower develops deep violet-purple hues. Growth is strong, branched, and fairly upright, with blooms that may nod on their stems. The foliage is large. Fragrance is of rose oil. For training as a climber, the branching habit may limit use, but it can be grown against a wall to reach medium height.
