2005 Intro

Shrub - Velvet dark purple

Yes, it's that purple…and that fragrant…and that novel! A black velvet purple with spicy clove fragrance like no other rose on the market. Despite being a Shrub, the compact rounded plant will lend itself to smaller spaces and enrich any landscape. Bright green leaves contrast nicely to the mysteriously colored flowers with showy yellow stamens. Big clusters give lots of color.
