Last September I placed an order with Heirloom Roses for several roses all on the high scale when it comes to scent. This year, which would be their "sleep year" several didn't show well, one didn't make it. But Ebb Tide definitely showed well and became my instant favorite of the roses from my order. If you look at the photo above, how could it not be? It's absolutely beautiful, and the scent was amazing. When in bloom, it was an attention grabber for my rose garden, if not the entire garden. In 2021 my favorite was my Don Juan climbing rose that I had purchased discounted at Lowes. I planted that guy on the archway into the back garden. Don Juan nudges me to stop every time to 'smell the roses', and I am always happy to oblige. But Ebb Tide won this year's award in Keith's Garden for "Keith's Favorite Rose of 2022". I am excited to see how Ebb Tide performs in the next three years as it matures. What makes Ebb Tide so interesting is, as in the photo they start as a magenta color but as they mature, it will be a purple-plum rose. Ebb Tibe is a striking Floribunda rose. Fun Fact: While having the fantastic color of hybrid tea roses, floribunda roses produce multiple roses on each stem, hybrid teas usually only 1 rose per stem.
