Delicate single mauve coloured flowers, which are very fragrant , keep forming throughout summer. Planted with the white flowered Apple Rose, the two colours fully compliment one another. The branches of an Apple Rose are covered in masses of small prickly thorns, hence its attraction in forming an impenetrable barrier.
