OMG, it is fabulous. Please tell more about it and where you got it.
I have Veilchenblau and love it. How does Violetta compare to Veilchenblau?
Thank you!
Joan

Joan,

Violette (with an 'e') is the climber which is often compared to Vielchenblau, Violetta (with an 'a') is synonymous with International Herald Tribune.

I bought this beauty at Lowe's a few weeks ago for $8. It did not suffer any transplant shock and has been blooming like crazy. All of my other roses are looking stressed by the jump to 90+ degrees today, but this one is still looking good.

I think it is destined to become a favorite.

ohhh my gosh.. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled at Lowes. Lovely!!

Oh my, that is beautiful. The colors remind me of Melodee Parfumee, you have done a great job with the photo!

HMF has no listing for this rose. Darn it.

Carla, I found it listed below:

Here is a link that might be useful: International Herald Tribune (Violetta)

The magenta with the yellow is very striking!! And look at all those big buds!

This might be the rose I was looking for, in trying to identify my aunt's rose (she is deceased). Does the Violette have thorns? Is it's fragrance mild but distinctive?
Is it a shrub?
