Rosa 'Veilchenblau' (Rose)

Veilchenblau is an old fashioned rambling rose bred in the early part of last century in Germany, but has stood the test of time and is still well worth growing today. It does require a bit of room in the garden, getting to a height of 4-5m wide and to about 2m high, thus it is suited for the larger garden. The flowers have a sweet musky fragrance and the flower colour changes over 3-5 days.
