The Story
Plant Bio
Rambler roses are vigorous, climbing roses with long, flexible canes that are easily trained on structures. They typically produce large clusters of small to medium-sized flowers in a single, massive flush in late spring or early summer. A classic rambler rose, 'Veilchenblau' is prized for its clusters of small, semi-double, violet flowers with white centers and golden stamens. The flowers fade to lilac-grey and have a fruity fragrance. It is a vigorous, nearly thornless, once-blooming variety.
