'Violette', hybrid multiflora. (Bred from 'Veilchenblau'). Breeder: Turbat, 1921. Height: 4 to 5m. Non-recurrent. Double, moderate fragrance, tolerates half-shade, hardy, tolerates poor soil.
The double flowers, in rosettes, are of a dark violet-purple which contrasts with the golden stamens. The effect is charming, even if the colour ends up dull. The foliage is large, elongated, dark green and has a satiny texture. Young foliage has an almost blonde tone. The plant is healthy and grows well, even in half-shade, although sometimes it is susceptible to mildew. Water sufficiently during periods of full vegetation.
