Skedarosen

A hardy, shade-resistant gallica with beautiful dark purple flowers.

Description from POM:

The spoon rose is a relatively healthy old-fashioned shrub rose with flowers in an unusual dark violet shade. Each flower shoot produces many fragrant flowers that are 4 – 7 cm in diameter, densely filled and shallowly bowl-shaped to flat. The flowering is abundant and lasts longer than for most other single-flowering roses, from around midsummer to the third week of July in the warmest parts of the country, slightly later in colder climate zones.
