Purple Tiger Floribunda Rose
Floribunda rose
Grow Zone - 5 to 9
ht.- 3 to 4 ft.
Span- 3 to 4 ft.
Coloring- Purple with white streaking
Shade/Light- Full sun
Best grown in moderate wet, slightly acidic, well-drained garden loams in full
sun to part shade. Best flowering and disease resistance generally occur in full
sun, however. Moisture deeply and regularly (mornings are best). Avoid overhead
watering. Good air circulation promotes vigorous and healthy growth and helps
control foliar diseases. Summer mulch helps retain damp, keeps roots cool and
discourages weeds. Remove spent flowers to encourage rebloom. Crowns need winter
protection in cold winter areas such as St. Louis. Remove and destroy diseased
leaves from plants, as practicable, and clean up and destroy dead leaves from
the ground around the plants both during the growing season and as part of a
thorough cleanup during winter (dormant season). Prune as needed in late winter
to early spring.
“Purple Tiger” is a floribunda rose which typically grows 3-4” tall and
features fragrant, loosely semi-double, purple blooms (to 4’ diameter) with
irregular white streaking. Good repeat bloom throughout the summer. Matte green
foliage.
Issues-
This rose grows well as a specimen or in small groups in borders, cottage
gardens, foundations or rose gardens.
