Parfuma® Dark Desire™ Bare Root Rose Bush
About Parfuma® Dark Desire™ Bare Root Rose Bush
Rosa ‘KORdiagraf’ PP 25,528 — Parfuma® Dark Desire™
Bred by Kordes®
Parfuma® Dark Desire™ is a deeply romantic rose from the renowned Kordes® Parfuma® collection, bred specifically to combine exceptional fragrance with modern disease resistance. This striking hybrid tea opens from nearly black buds into velvety violet-red blooms, creating a dramatic display of rich color that shifts subtly between crimson, plum, and deep purple tones as the flowers mature.
The blooms are lush and full, with layers of beautifully arranged petals that open into elegant cupped flowers. What truly sets this rose apart is its intense and sophisticated fragrance—a complex perfume blending classic rose with notes of citrus, geranium, fruit, and honey. The scent is strongest in the warmth of the day and again in the evening, filling the garden with a rich, romantic aroma.
Dark Desire™ produces repeat flushes of blooms through the season on a vigorous upright shrub clothed in glossy green foliage. The plant is known for its excellent disease resistance and strong garden performance, even earning the prestigious ADR award for outstanding health and reliability.
With its dramatic color, intoxicating fragrance, and dependable garden performance, Parfuma® Dark Desire™ is a rose that brings both luxury and depth to the garden, whether planted in beds, borders, or grown for cutting.
