Surely the darkest and most fragrant red rose yet, winner of the Edland Medal for fragrance. Rich, dark velvety crimson, the flowers are large, heavily petalled and beautifully formed with a sensational and almost overwhelming perfume. The blooms are carried in abundance. Growth is wonderfully robust and healthy growing and flowering lavishly all season.
