Rose Type: Grandiflora
Fragrant Plum produces elegant lavender blooms washed and blushed with deeper purple, giving the flowers a rich, cool-toned appearance. The medium-to-large blooms carry about 20–25 petals and are held on long stems, making them especially attractive for cutting. Cooler weather brings out the best flower form, while warmer conditions can brighten the color.
Its fruity fragrance is a major part of the appeal, ranging from moderate to very strong depending on growing conditions. The plant grows upright with lush, deep green foliage and reaches about 4–5 feet tall. It also offers good cutting performance, good disease resistance, and tolerance to coastal and warm conditions. A little afternoon shade can be helpful in especially hot settings.
