Rose - Ebb Tide

Common Name: Ebb Tide Rose

Description: The Ebb Tide Rose (Rosa 'WEKsmopur') is a captivating floribunda variety introduced by Weeks Roses in 2006. It is renowned for its smoky, deep plum-purple blooms that exude a strong clove fragrance. The flowers are very full, displaying an old-fashioned form, and typically measure about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The plant has a compact, rounded habit, reaching approximately 2 to 4 feet in height and width. Its semi-glossy, dark green foliage provides a striking contrast to the rich-colored blooms. In Melbourne's climate, the Ebb Tide Rose thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. It blooms in flushes from late spring through autumn, offering a continuous display of color and fragrance. This variety is also noted for its very good disease resistance, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. It's ideal for use in mixed borders, rose beds, or as a fragrant hedge.
