    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.
