Parentage unknown. First bloomed 2020, first propagated 2022. Late blooming DOUBLE flowers are reddish-purple (RHS 67A), 13cm (5″) in diameter, are upward and outward facing, and average one to two per stem. Fragrance noted. Guard petals are twisted, rounded, and notched. Reproductive structures are fully petalized; infertile. Plants reach 81cm (32″) at maturity, and carry narrow-pointed, green foliage with curled margins. Growth habit is upright; mechanical support is unnecessary. The red-purple color of the highly double flowers is pure and bright, as warm and bright as a mother’s love, like a beam of light illuminating us.
