Antique Rose "Reine des Violettes" (Queen of the Violets)
This is a very old rose (hybrid perpetual) bred by Millet-Malet in 1860 (France).
The blooms start out a little lighter and deepen to a darker more vibrant purple on outer petals as they mature.
Has that lovely old-fashioned fragrance and soft velvety petals.
