Hello, The package I received was completely destroyed as it was so wet, the rose bush had wandered inside and all the shoots are broken, and about fifty percent of the foliage is yellowed and falling off. I have been a customer at Promesse de Fleurs for many years and I have never received such a disastrous order as these last two.

Description
The Veilchenblau climbing rose has something magical about it. While nowadays roses with blue tones are no longer rarities, this thornless climber, born in 1909, caused a sensation when it was introduced to the market. Crossing trends and years with indifference, it remains today one of the very best in its category, combining stunning colors and outstanding performance in any garden. Its small semi-double roses, not truly violet but rather deep magenta, with a white streak running from the heart to the tips of the petals, change color over the course of days, eventually taking on shades of fuchsia, mauve, and bluish reflections before fading. When grown on its own roots, this non-remontant rose sucker slightly and can live for several decades in the garden.
The Veilchenblau rose, whose name means "violet blue" in German, was bred in 1909 by the German rose breeder Schmidt. It is a cross between the 'Crimson Rambler', a carmine red rose, and 'Souvenir de Brod', a very double purple rose. 'Veilchenblau' inherits genes from Rosa multiflora, as well as from the Wichura rose (also known as Rosa luciae), a robust botanical species native to East Asia. Awarded the Award of Garden Merit in England, this rose comes highly recommended by top rose professionals.
'Veilchenblau' can easily reach a height of 4 to 5 metres (13 to 16 feet) with a spread of around 2.50 metres (8 feet). Its long flexible stems are almost devoid of prickles and covered with small foliage, ranging from a fresh light green to almost matte, which shows decent resistance to rose diseases early in the season, but becomes slightly weaker after flowering depending on the weather conditions. The flowers of this summer-flowering climber appear from late May to July, earlier or later depending on the region. They emerge as raspberry-coloured buds on short second-year shoots. They open into small 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) semi-double roses, clustered in small bouquets along the stems. Dark pink buds and flowers in various shades of violet, garnet, purple, mauve, lavender, and finally bluish fuchsia, highlighted by a beautiful white throat and golden yellow stamens, adorn the plant. Their almost imperceptible fragrance is subtly powdery, becoming more intense in hot and calm weather. This very vigorous and resistant rose adapts to all climates and soils and tolerates partial shade. However, depending on the cultivation conditions, it can be susceptible to powdery mildew and especially black spot. The fruits remain decorative until winter, unless the birds eat them all, as they are particularly fond of them.
With 'Veilchenblau', we enter the fabulous world of 'old' climbing roses that are undeterred by anything. Like 'Alberic Barbier', 'Albertine', New Dawn, Felicia, American Pillar , Mme Alfred Carrière or even May Queen, it is particularly interesting for adding lushness and colour to difficult or slightly shaded areas of the garden. Like other large climbers, it can easily hide an unsightly structure or climb a sturdy tree or wall. Its unique-toned flowers are beautiful alongside the pink pompoms of the vigorous 'The Fairy Liane' or the small yellow-orange dog roses of 'Mme Oakley Fisher'.
Bred by Schmidt in 1909.

Planting and care
The Veilchenblau climbing rose prefers partially shaded situations where its flowers will be sheltered from the strong rays of midday. It tolerates all types of soil, including slightly alkaline soils, all climates, and will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well cultivated and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, prepare the soil by crumbling it and adding an amendment, such as bonemeal, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water abundantly after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root growth. Pruning this rose is only necessary to control its growth. If its spread bothers you, don't hesitate to reduce the branches. This operation should be carried out after flowering. Since the flowering is not perpetual, there is no need to remove the faded flowers, as this would deprive you of its decorative fruits in autumn.
Roses are often spotted or unsightly in late summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose, it is a natural phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
