Description

Dark Crown is a deep, moody purple garden rose with rich, saturated tones that can range from plum to eggplant depending on the stage of opening and lighting.

The bloom opens into a full, layered garden shape, with a structured, slightly cupped form that gives it presence without looking overly soft.
