Floribunda rose 'Ebb Tide'

Floribunda Rose 'Ebb Tide' (Rosa 'Ebb Tide'). The 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 double dark purple flowers with smoky plum, almost velvety hues that retain their richness throughout the season. Highly fragrant, they release a powerful scent with spicy and slightly clove notes, noticeable from several feet away. Flowering from early summer until the first frosts, this rose offers a remarkable visual impact in beds, borders, or as an edging plant.

To plant 'Ebb Tide' floribunda rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1 m (3 ft) to organize this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1 m (3.3 ft) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
