This rose is popular in the warmer climates because of it's great heat tolerence. The round flower buds begin deep purple, and open to 3" double blooms with 20-30 petals of a mauve/plum color. The flowers are set off by the lovely dark green foliage.

Flowers are borne mostly in clusters, as most Floribunda Roses You can pick a bouquet with a single stem. You'll find from 5-15 roses on a single stem. And it is a very fragrant bouquet! The fragrance is that of Old Rose mixed with Citrus. (Heavenly) The ruffled blooms of this Floribunda,grow on long stems, making it a good rose for cutting.

The purple roses are a most unusual color for Floribunda's, and a nice addition to your garden.

The rosebush has good midseason bloom, with good repeat.

The rose is a vigorous grower, and mostly hardy. Some information I have says it is hardy zones 6-10, other references say zones 5-10.

A very good rose for the garden, and the vase.
