Minerva Belgian Garden Shrub Rose

Unique Deep Purple Rose!

Another rose I simply had to give a try! It’s hard to find good true purple roses that don’t fade to a mauvish pink or red. This seems to be a true bright purple - and I’m quite fond of its color. This rose also seems to be very healthy and quite prolific. The fragrance is strong for the most part but sometimes faint as well, so I assume the strength of fragrance must very depending on weather conditions still very delightful though! Sometimes the blooms themselves are more refluxed and loosely formed - other times they’re very full and old fashioned quartet looking. All in all a very charming rose that I think will pair nicely amongst the other roses in my garden 🌹
