I have grown this rose for some years now, and I have a sneaking suspicion that Charles Mallerin or Papa Meilland may be one of the parents. On its own roots the plant is a slow grower with awkward growth patterns. However, despite its high culture requirements, the deep dark red velvety flowers are so saturated in color it is unique in its class. There are no orange, pink, or blue undertones, but rather, when the flower ages it turns more blackish maroon. Good form and fragrance with below average resistance to blackspot and other diseases. The leaves are matte green and growth is in short internodes. Very difficult to find, but worth the effort. The plant remains small for me at well below 36 inches; therefore, I grow it in a 22" wide X15" deep pot to have better control of its environment. Kuroshinjo would be sensational as a 48" standard tree rose! WARNING: this is not a rose recommended for beginners.

Yippee-- a fragrant red hybrid tea -- this one has a vanilla-type scent.
