Rosa indica subviolacea 'Near-Violet China Rose'. Prickles stout, short, hooked, much dilated at the base. Leaflets 5 or 7, acute, crenate, purplish edged, upperside green, underside paler; petioles slightly tomentose, with small, yellowish, very sharp prickles; stipules decurrent, acute, denticulate. Flowers the size of those of common multiflora, subumbellate at the branch tips; pedicels slender, with glandular hairs; bracts basal, opposite, long, simple or sometimes leafy; receptacles small, ovoid, glabrous; sepals glabrous, recurved before anthesis as in all China roses; corolla almost full, of a beautiful crimson shading towards violet - a unique feature distinguishing this from all others.
A derivative of the 'Crimson China Rose' (Vol. I p. 30), this was obtained from seed in Ternaux's garden and is distributed under the name he gave it. Today it is available from many nurseries. Collectors of China roses will be eager to have it, not only for the fine colour of the petals, but also because it blooms continuously - in summer in beds In the garden, in winter in frames where it is sheltered.
