Discovered by Mrs. A. Edwards (New Zealand, 1995).

Early Large Flowered.  

Purple, darker center.  6 petals.  Average diameter 7".  Single, twisted petals bloom form.  Early summer to early autumn.  

Height: 10' to 13' (305 to 395cm).  

USDA zone 2a and warmer.  Plant in sun or partial shade.  It blooms on the previous year's growth, so resist the urge to prune it in early spring.  In early spring, cut back to just above the lowest set of healthy buds.
