To make mistake even worse, those are not typical violets that were drawn there. Violets I have seen have asymmetrical flowers formed from five petals and their color is a shade of purple that is more on the blue side.
As I recall aren’t violets coloured, you know, violet?
Also, you missed out hirple, meaning the small of the waist. Which actually is quite a useful one for a romantic rhyming couplet.
As a point of note, the three colours that are traditionally viewed as having no rhyming English words all have both masculine and feminine rhymes. Feminine rhymes shouldn’t be too hard to find, but the word ‘chilver’ and the surname ‘Lorange’ (which I believe is also a European town?) should help you with the masculine rhymes.

Also, that vase? Yuk, the colours clash and with purple flowers too? WRONG.

Oh yeah, I never thought of that before!
Hurple and curple are both Scottish slang o_O
Roses are red,

I’d like to give you a nurple.
