Russeliana

Russeliana, unknown, before 1826

Hybrid Multiflora 

Parentage unknown 

A rather gorgeous Multiflora rambler with violet/lilac/purple very full blooms in small clusters. Strong fragrance. A vigorous and healthy rose with many purposes. Can be used as a rambler, a big shrub etc.. 
As a rambler she can reach 6 meters or 18 feet. Only once blooming. Zone 4b to 9b, rain and shade tolerant.
The Geschwind's rose "Himmelsauge" in commerce is actually also Russeliana 

Russeliana has this Rather Gallica feel and in full flush it looks absolutely stunning.
