The purpose of this cross was to see if I can get some purple into a hardier plant. There is some purple shading in this one. May not be disease resistant but I will use this seedling further in breeding to try to accomplish a good hardy purple. Sometimes the foliage is variegated like the variety Verschuren.

Does not set hips.
