Ebb Tide^TM Rose is a hot new hardy own root floribunda rose especially suited for Northern cold climate gardens and landscapes. The unusually smoky dark purple double blooms exude a rich spicy clove fragrance. Rosa Ebb Tide is a dense, shapely rose shrub that matures at only 3-4' depending on your pruning, and has deep green glossy disease resistant foliage.  Ebb Tide Rose is outstanding in the mixed perennial and shrub border. For an unbelievable combination try underplanting Ebb Tide Rose with Achillea 'The Pearl' or the delightful miniature rose 'Starla'. Either plant has brilliant white blooms that will accentuate the smoky dark purple 38-petal count blooms of Ebb Tide Rose. Here at Stargazer Perennials we use Ebb Tide Rose in our landscape designs in many different ways: As a gorgeous single specimen in a mixed perennial and shrub border, as a stunning low hedge along a long driveway (spaced one every 5') or flanking a sidewalk or garden pathway, and especially in mixed patio containers where you can enjoy the rich fragrance as you relax on your patio or dine outdoors.
