One of the darkest ramblers, award-winning Rosa ‘Veilchenblau’ features bright, almost thornless stems and glossy emerald-green leaves. In late spring or early summer, large sprays of orange-scented, semi-double, cupped, dark magenta-purple flowers are produced in abundance. Changing to bluish-lilac before fading to lilac-gray with occasional white streaks, their slightly incurved petals open to reveal their white centers and golden stamens. In the fall, ‘Veilchenblau’ develops small brown-red hips, decorating the plant into the winter. Robust, this vigorous rambling rose is ideal for training on a wall, or fence and suitable for climbing into trees. An excellent rose for a north-facing site.
