Basye's Purple Rose

Basye's Purple Rose is a hybrid between Rosa rugosa and R. foliolosa. It is uniquely colored purple/ red/ magenta. It is one of my favorite roses. It is supposed to be drought resistant and it has proven to be very hardy. The whole bush is purple, the canes, the stamens, the petioles and even the pith of the canes has a bit of purple in it. It does not appear to get any diseases and is an excellent choice for someone who likes the unusual.Back to the Rose varieties
