The dense semi-double flowers reach an average diameter of 8 centimetres (3.1 in), with up to 35 petals, and appear in loose clusters of 3 to 15 in flushes throughout the season. They have a mild to strong, sweet musk fragrance and an elegant bloom form, with outer petals that bend decoratively outwards.[2] Their colour ranges from a blush to strong pink with a cream centre and a reverse described as lemony or silvery in young flowers that changes to pink and white in mature petals.[2][5]
The compact bushy shrub grows 0.75 to 1.5 metres (2.5 to 5 feet) high and about 1 metre (3.3 ft) wide. The young shoots are crimson with reddish purple new foliage that turns to a glossy slightly blue dark green. 'Violet Carson' is (almost) thornless, rain tolerant and winter hardy down to −23 °C (USDA zone 6).[1][2][5]
The flower has been notably featured in the graphic novel V for Vendetta, but in the movie version is renamed to the fictitious "Scarlet Carson", which Ruth grows for her partner (Valerie), and V grows during his imprisonment in the Larkhill Resettlement Camp. They were portrayed in the film by red 'Grand Prix' roses.[6]
