[From "Descriptions and Account of the Varieties of Double Scotch Roses, cultivated in the Gardens of England. By Joseph Sabine, Esq. F. R. S. &c. Secretary, p. 281-305]
The Double Purple is a very late as well as a bad flowering plant; but being distinct, and having been established in our gardens, it cannot be passed over. The peduncles are long, thickened, and smooth, the germen campanulate, and the sepals narrow, the whole tinged with a mahogany colour; the bud is much swollen, and of a palish hue; the flower, though not large, is thick, and full double; the petals grow upright, and are thus cupped; and do not expand freely; their inside is of a dark lake colour, more inclining to purple than any variety I have described; the backs of the petals are much lighter than the inside, but not distinctly two-coloured, though sufficiently so to give a slight appearance of variation to the general effect of the flower. The styles in the centre are, in some cases, swollen into numerous elongated lumps. It does not, generally, produce fruits.
