One of my favorite seedlings that I have grown. A very nice combination of both its parents from the color of the pollen parent to the size and smaller clustering of the seed parent. The shape of the bloom is very nice and the scent absolutely delightful. This seedling has survived several takeovers by tall weeds (there is a Canadian thistle infestation going on right now in my yard) but each time I find the time to get out there and weed the seedling bed, there this one is growing nicely and usually blooming away as if the weeds weren't there at all. Hardly any prickles at all (another trait from the pollen parent) with nice branching. Produces hips so I believe I will add this one to my breeding list. This could be the start of a decently hardy and healthy purple line of roses. Just a lovely overall rose.
