The deep burgundy mauve flowers of Orphaline de Julliet make a striking contrast against the lighter pink Gallicas and the Albas.  The foliage is quite healthy in our gardens.  The bush stays reasonably small, and never outgrows its welcome.  Orphaline de Julliet deserves a place in the gardens of every lover of old roses.
