Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Pure, velvety elegance describes these purple petals punctuated by a soft white starburst center! The 7-12’ size makes this deciduous vine useful in many locations and ideal for a trellis or perhaps sharing the space of a yellow or apricot colored climbing rose? Blooms summer and into fall if cut back 50% after first flush. To see it is to love it! Sun is best but will take some shade, decent soil, support...well you know the drill.
