Rosa floribunda ‘Ebb Tide’, commonly known as ‘Ebb Tide’ floribunda rose, is a spectacular variety renowned for its deep color and intense fragrance. Its compact, dense bushy habit bears abundant clusters of dark purple double flowers with smoky plum, almost velvety reflections, which retain their richness throughout the season. Highly fragrant, they emit a powerful scent with spicy and slightly clove notes, perceptible from several feet away. Floriferous from early summer until the first frosts, this rose offers a remarkable visual impact in beds, borders, or as an edging plant. Its glossy dark green foliage highlights the depth of the petals. Rosa floribunda ‘Ebb Tide’ attracts pollinating insects and brings mystery and sophistication to landscape designs.
