Description:
Rosa Parfuma 'Dark Desire' is an exceptionally fragrant Kordes shrub rose with lusty cup-shaped blooms packed with petals in an English style in shades of violet-red and pinkish red from nearly black buds. The strong fragrance offers notes of old rose, citrus, and myrrh. If you love David Austin roses, you will love this cultivar and the rest of the Parfuma series. The flowers look great in the garden and as cut flowers in a vase. Kordes roses are bred in Germany and are highly sought after by rose collectors for the beauty of their flowers, their generous rebloom, and their excellent disease resistance.
