Reine
des Violettes * Introduced in 1860 |
| Reine des Violettes is one
of the more fragrant roses. This nearly thornless rose can be grown
as a climber or as a large mounding shrub. Reine des Violettes grows
6-8 feet canes. The flowers grow on second year growth so hard
pruning this rose will yield very few flowers. I select out older
canes and damaged wood and generally leave the rest. Reine des Violettes
has many 2-3" blooms in the Spring and then lightly repeats.
Reine des Violettes is a hybrid perpetual rose.
