Read detailed description :

An improvement of the 'Hartlage Wine' variety, more upright and with larger perfumed flowers. A vigorous and erect plant with stunning, double, purpely-red flowers. The scent recalls melon and aged wine. The flowers are abundant in May-June, repeat in summer and sometimes in September. The olive-green leaves are relatively shiny. Plant in any well drained soil, not too heavy or chalky. Appreciates a sheltered zone, with a warm exposure and a cool soil.
