Description:
Floribunda Roses are a modern breed of rose that have been developed by crossing them with a Hybrid Tea. They have a cluster of several flowers on each stem that vigorously grow throughout a long flowering season to give a magnificent floral display to the landscape. They have a high resistance to diseases which makes them a great low maintenance rose. Ebb Tide has magnificent deep smoky purple blooms that have a intense fragrance. The large double blooms also have the old world charm. A great addition to the garden and with such intense colouring will look a stand out when planted amongst a contrasting colour. Also available as a standard.

Cultural Notes: Needs to be planted in well drained soil that has a high amount of organic matter. When planting ensure the grafting bud is above soil level. Mulch with a organic mulch. Fertilize regularly throughout the growing season with a rose specific fertilizer. Pruning can be done regularly throughout the growing season by removing spent blooms which encourages repeat flowering. Hard pruning is undertaken in winter once the plant has gone dormant, pruning to a vase shape to increase air movement within the plant to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
