REINE DES VIOLETTES HP. Good, reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Arching, long caned. Milet-Malet, 1860 [Provenance: Pickering] The famous "Blue Rose" that Graham Thomas praises is a favorite of ours too. Small, cupped, double flowers with lilac-mauve coloring are wonderfully fragrant, and handsomely set off by the glaucous foliage. ...would seem to be related to ["GLENDORA" and SYDONIE]...from all we can tell from physical characteristics.

Reine des Violettes Hybrid Perpetual. Millet-Malet (France) 1860. Hybrid Perpetual... although Thomas feels it is nearer to the Bourbons. Description... it partakes more nearly of the Old Rose purple colouring than any other which Thomas has seen having China parentage. There is nothing like it; it is the apotheosis of the Old Roses... dark, soft grape purple, later fading to softest parma violet... This is a rose to be treasured for all time...
