Rosa 'Hot Chocolate'

Last blooms of this strong fragrant standard rose, taken before the rains. #latebloomer. Colour has deepened over the years from red/brown to almost 💜

Amazing colour change through the seasons 💕💕💜💜

Gorgeous colour

Beautiful

Thank you @midnightgardener @debs69 @hebelover @cyndi. I sometimes have to check my plant 🏷 as the colour is not dissimilar to my shrub rose 'Rhapsody in Blue'. I'd say standard is 4/ 5 years old and has been in sick Bay for a few of those seasons.. but performing well now. Thankfully..💜💚

A gorgeous colour 👌🏻

Thank you @telswirld

Love this colour, so unusual in a rose!

Thank you, @gjones @italydiva . I do think this one has found its own colour over time. 💜💜
