Rosa 'Veilchenblau' (Ra)
The best known and most widely grown of all the purple-flowered climbers. The flowers are reddish purple at first turning a dark blue-violet before fading to lilac grey. The flowers also tend to stay on the plant for a long time so the effect of all the different hues occurs together. Most of the flowers also have broad white streaks in them running right from the centre to the tips of the petals.

All the roses we sell are field-grown and lifted when conditions are at their optimum to ensure strong, quality plants and are potted-up as soon as they are received into the nursery. This ensures that the roots do not dry out and gives the plant the best start. Therefore, do not be surprised if the soil falls away from the root when planting, particularly during the winter and early spring months. We use a high quality commercial compost mix when potting our roses and recommend you incorporate this into the planting hole when planting out in the garden.
