Archduke Charles is an essence that encourages emotional stability. It is safe to touch and be touched when you wear Archduke Charles.

This rose is a sport of Old Blush, a natural occurring genetic mutation. The outer petals open crimson, with a tight fragrant, pink, cupped petal center. No two blooms look alike! The flowers have 17-25 petals, 2-3 inches long, blooming in mass from spring-fall. The 5–6-foot bush is drought tolerant hardy and almost thorn-less. Archduke is a tea rose, the aroma reminding growers of a Chines black tea. Many noses would disagree! Its scent is lightly sweet with citrus overtones.

                                         "I delight in your touch."

Testimonial: I've always been known as a" stand offish" person. After enjoying wearing this perfume rose for 3-4 weeks, I became known as a "hugger"!  And I like it! Lea.
