The exceptionally beautiful, blue-violet bedding rose Minerva produces clusters of large, purple-violet blooms all year round. These are also well suited for cutting into a vase. Besides its unusual colour for a rose, it is also the strong, sweetish fragrance that immediately delights with Minerva.

As a medium-sized bedding rose, Minerva forms an appealingly upright-growing, healthy, smaller shrub that also feels at home in a container. But it also makes a memorable picture in a bed, singly, in groups, or even planted over a larger area. This otherwise resistant and low-maintenance rose should, however, be protected from bare frost.

Lovely and unusual flower colour, especially in cool weather
A very beautiful colour that, depending on the temperature, can range from a morbid deep violet (cool) to light pink! (in heat). Must be placed protected from midday sun/heat, especially from June to August, because otherwise the blooms burn within two days. A location with morning sun and late-afternoon sun therefore suits it best.
The flower matures from a shimmering violet to a slate-blue-grey and when fully faded can sometimes turn brown-violet.
A lovely addition to Old Roses with dark flowers such as Cardinal de Richelieu, Reine des Violettes and William Lobb
Repeat-flowering from late spring/early summer to autumn.
Pruning like a bed rose.
Height: small shrub
My soil: sandy with a high proportion of loam.

One of my healthiest
I have had Minerva for three years in a container and she gets more beautiful from year to year. Only towards autumn does she sometimes struggle with black spot, but recovers by her own strength. Particularly beautiful is the terraced growth habit - it forms every year without any doing of my own. A wonderful continuous bloomer!

Rich in flowers
I bought the rose on spec, based on the description, when there was no picture yet.
Only planted last year and already a strong little bush with plenty of flowers in groups. She stands in full sun with me and copes well with it. The flowers are strongly coloured with a few light speckles at the edge and also heat-stable, they just open a bit too far for my taste. The fragrance is pleasant, velvety/fruity.

Intoxicating fragrance in violet
Minerva smells wonderful and is altogether one of my favourite roses, even if she stands on 'wobbly legs' and lets her little heads droop in the rain. Nevertheless I love her very much, her fragrance is intoxicating and so is her colour.

Wonderfully fragrant, healthy rose!
Hello, I planted Minerva bare-root after two weeks in a bucket of water and she now has her first wonderfully fragrant bloom! I have always had good experiences with bare-root plants so far! Best wishes, Jutta
