The shrub rose variety you described has the following characteristics:
Height: 150-180 cm (about 5-6 ft)
Width: around 120 cm (4 ft)
Foliage: medium dense, large dark green leaves
Flowers: borne in clusters of 5-10 per stem
Large, fully double
Cup-shaped, old-fashioned form when open
Lavender-purple in color, but can take on lilac, pinkish or coffee tones depending on weather and climate
Fragrance: strong, fruity
Bloom Time: repeat blooming all season until frost
Origin: bred by Reimer Kordes in Germany in 1954

This sounds like a lovely, vigorous shrub rose with its large, fragrant blooms in shades of lavender and coffee, borne abundantly all season on a bushy plant. The strong disease resistance is also a plus. I would recommend this variety to anyone looking for a hardy, floriferous shrub rose for their garden.
