Dark purple, ages to violet .  Moderate fragrance.  25 to 35 petals.  Average diameter 2.5".  Medium, full (26-40 petals), old-fashioned, rosette bloom form.  Prolific, continuous (perpetual) bloom throughout the season.  Medium, rounded buds.

Benefits from winter protection in colder climates.  drought resistant.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

This is an open pollinated seedling of Ebb Tide. While this is most likely a self pollination, I have the pollen parent listed as unknown as there is no way to determine whether or not this is correct. All open pollinated seedlings of Ebb Tide appear to have stems/branches that are either completely thornless or almost thornless. Many of these seedlings, when young, have blooms that are proliferated, but most grow out of this by the end of their first season. Most blooms have petals which are in the purple range of colors with some having white centers and/or white on the reverse.
