A rare beauty. Old-fashioned, ruffled, cupped double blooms of rich, velvety black-violet(the color of port). Wonderfully fragrant. This grand old Hybrid perpetual may be grown as a shrub or climber. It needs part shade to develop its most beautiful color. Impressive. Repeat blooming and hardy zones 5-9.
