Description
Rosa ‘Veilchenblau’ is a vigorous climber with striking, small violet-blue flowers in summer. The flowers have a pleasant fragrance and are semi-double, produced in large clusters that contrast beautifully with the bright green foliage. As the flowers fade, they are replaced by attractive, ornamental hips that extend the season of interest well into autumn. This historic rose, which dates back to 1909, is ideal for covering walls, trellises, or arches in a cottage garden or mixed border.
