Violet Carson is a rose cultivar, an uncommon hybrid of the Mme Leon Cuny and Spartan varieties, created between 1963 and 1964.[2] It is a shrub which grows to a height of between 0.75 to 1.5 meters (2.5 to 5 feet) with semi-double flowers (ranging from a blush pink, peachy-pink, to a strong pink), with a silvery reverse.[3]
The flower is notably featured in the graphic novel V for Vendetta, but in the movie version, is renamed to the fictitious "Scarlet Carson" which was portrayed in the film by red Grand Prix roses.[4]
