Blooms are purplish with high potassium fertilizer. The scent is better than Madame Isaac Perrier. It needs lots of rain water to bloom. Blooms last long in the vase but the plant (grafted on Dr.Huey) doesn't have enough vigor thus very few blooms for a tiny plant (less than 1 foot).

Young Lycidas (grafted on Dr.Huey) didn't survive my zone 5 winter and is wimpy for other cold-zoners. The bush is very small and the stem is too thin to support the many petals blooms so I had to support it with a peony cage. Leaves are crinkled like Sharifa Asma (another tiny rose as own root).
