Gallica (Louis Parmentier, Belgium, before 1847)
Lightly fragrant, 2 to 3 inch blooms are mauve, then open fully to a rich purple shade. Once blooming in early summer. Shrub forms an arching mound up to 5 feet high and 4 feet wide with dark green leaves and few thorns. Generous feeding produces the best results.

The color is even more lovely in person. Very healthy rose

The colors of Cardinal de Richlieu are very amazing and beautiful to behold. Each one is to be treasured. I grow it in full hot sun and it keeps that sumptuous dark purple color instead of washing out to pink as some of the other roses tend to do. I grow it in the Twin Cities, z4/5 and it has no problem. Has a tidy and nice growth habit as well.
