Intrigue Rose

Floribunda Purple Roses

The Intrigue Rose bears deep purple roses that are very fragrant Floribunda roses. The color, and fragrance are quite intriguing, as is the plant itself, that is compact, and great for edging.

Deep purple-red buds open to velvety plum flowers.

Type Floribunda

Hybridizer Warriner 1984

Growth habits Low-growing, upright, and bushy 3 1/2' and can spread up to 4'

Foliage Dark-Green, Semi-Glossy, a nice contrast to the rich-colored blooms

Blooms Mauve/Plum color are double, and mostly in clusters. Occassionaly singles. The large flowers have 25 petals.

Fragrance A Very fragrant rose! Old Rose/ Citrus scent

Awards AARS (All-American Rose Selections)1984

The Intrigue rose is popular in the warmer climates because of it's great heat tolerence. 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.
