A Shrub rose introduced by Carruth/Weeks in 2002. Big clusters of double flowers of a subtle magenta colour that is variable with different temperatures, 25-30 petals, strong clove and rose scent; medium height. Parentage; ‘Stephen’s Big Purple x (‘International Herald Tribune’ x ‘Rosa soulieana derivative). This is another candidate for a rose not quite blue but looking in that direction. Photographed at the Heirloom Rose Garden in Oregon by Bill Grant and by Tom Carruth at the Weeks Rose Nursery California. | ||||||
