hybrid multiflora rose

Overview

Hybrid multiflora rose (Rosa 'Veilchenblau') is an ornamental shrub that produces highly fragrant purple flowers. It is a hybrid of two wild species in the rose family, the dog rose and the rug Rose. The multi-petalled blooms with clove-like scent open from large, deep purple buds throughout summer and autumn. A strong growing rose, the plant can reach up to 1.5 m tall, with its vigorous arching canes, making it an ideal choice for adding vertical interest to borders. The green foliage also provides colour and texture to the garden. It is low maintenance and requires very little pruning or care.
