It were historical roses of deep purple color that I was longing for the most. And I was not disappointed, because the one is more beautiful than the other. My favorite, however, is not an aristocratic purple one, but a literally peasant rose, the Trigintipetala.
This is the rose that has been used for centuries in Bulgaria for producing rose oil. I like rose oil and often use it as a medicine as well. I thought it would be good to have the rose producing it, too. But I had not thought it would be so beautiful.

It forms an exceptionally nice shrub.
And its flowers are like a host of princesses.
Here it can be seen it the company of another beauty, the Erinnerung an Brod.
