Did you know that despite its name - #JapaneseAnemone - that this pretty #perennial #plant isn't actually from Japan?
It was introduced there, hundreds of years ago & became naturalized. It is actually native to China, #Taiwan & #Vietnam.
It's been cultivated in gardens, worldwide.

Hundreds of years ago, a form of E. hupehensis with smaller, semi-double flowers & pink sepals escaped cultivation and spread across #China to #Japan & #Korea. After finding this form in a #Shanghai graveyard in 1843, the plant explorer/ #botanist Robert Fortune sent it home to England where it became known as E. japonica, the Japanese anemone. European #horticulturists crossed the Japanese anemone with E. vitifolia to produce #cultivars of the artificial hybrid E. × hybrida.

Stormy Weather is a beautiful #ClimberRose with large dark purple blooms & centers with golden-yellow stamens. As she ages, her colour fades to a gentle lavender. These cupped to flat blooms are produced in clusters & emit a spicy #fragrance. Stormy Weather will show more purple-blue tones in cooler weather.
