An interesting cultivar with striking purple red flowers with a lighter bar along the midrib turning whit towards the centre. Flowers are 6-8 cm in diameter and consist of 4-6 sepals of attractively waved edges. Stamens have creamy-yellow anthers on greenish filaments.  Flowers are borne in May-June and reappear in August-September. Leaves are single or trifoliate, dark green. New shoots are purple-green and the old ones – brown. The plant reaches 1.5-2 m height. Climbs by leaf petioles.

It is useful for growing over low fences, trellises, poles and other garden supports.

Looks particularly attractive against light background. Suitable for container cultivation.
