  • Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Dec 4, 2019 1:50 AM concerning plant:
    The blooms of Madame Violet have lightly scalloped, recurved petals of a pale shade of mauve, with slightly darker, lavender-pink edges. The rose is highly resistant to pests and disease, but it does not grow well on its own roots and must be grafted to exhibit its full potential.
