Comments (33)I saw this rose in our local nursery in Spring 2017 and I couldn't help buying one even though I had no room for it really, I had to make room for her. First, they advertised the rose here as Cousin Violet's rose, cousin Violet from Downton Abbey. They had four roses, one for Edith, one for Anna, and another for Rose, and of course cousin Violet was my favorite character and she loved her roses. This lavender rose is simply lovely, it filled out in my yard quite quickly and bloomed like mad, all the way into early November here in Seattle. Her flowers are not very big, but the color is very unique, and they come in clusters. My neighbors come visit this rose and though my other roses are also stunning, this one gets the most compliments by far....See MoreQuick Silver's vs. Violet's Pride's bloom...and the winner is?
Comments (34)It seems like Quick Silver, Violet's Pride, and Love Song are rapidly becoming a formidable trio of lavender roses: "The Three Musketeers, The Pale Purple Crusaders, The Regalia of Nostalgia." The more lavender roses the better, especially when you get older and find yourself becoming increasingly sentimental. The color lavender glows next to any other color, except perhaps orange, maybe that contrast works, too. Thank you everyone, for all your input. I'm sold on all thee lavenders. It seems Quick Silver and Love Song have the best formed and colored blooms, while Violet's Pride is the most fragrant and more pink hued of the three. I suspect the bush form of Love Song noted by Texas Ben is the most impressive/rose bed centered of the three. The photos that Texas Ben and Diane (thank you for them), provided, give me weak-knees! Lavender roses have surely come a long way since Angel Face. Moses...See MoreAUGUSTE RENOIR, VIOLET’S PRIDE
Comments (6)Beautiful pictures / roses - you must be tickled! I also just bought Violet's Pride. The little buds / blooms are so tiny it looks like a mini, but the color is fantastic, as is the intense fragrance coming out of these little flowers. I was surprised to read the blooms are supposed to be much larger. We'll see!...See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw
