Enchanted Evening Floribunda Rose

This Jackson and Perkins original may prompt you to unleash your inner Perry Como or Frank Sinatra. Enchanted Evening features the tropical light lavender color you might expect on some trip to the South Pacific accompanied by the sounds of Rogers and Hammerstein.

With a strong citrus fragrance and unique lavender-mauve color, this floribunda exudes a refined elegance and grace. The high-centered, fully double flowers bloom in clusters, opening slowly from pointed ovoid buds. And you'll appreciate the exotic colors displayed on the 25 softly ruffled petals, which reveal a silvery reverse. The lovely glossy foliage holds up to humid summers.

A heavy producer throughout the summer, Enchanted Evening can fulfill a variety of roles in your garden or floral display. The lavender blooms carry the show as a featured member, win rave reviews in a supporting role, or shine brightly in a container. Growing up to 4 feet in height and stretching to 4 feet in width, its size makes it suitable for beds, borders, or containers.

The invigorating fragrance transforms its environment into an exotic, romantic locale. Bred from Perfume Perfection and Blue Bayou, Enchanted Evening is highly resistant to disease in addition to its ability to handle steamy conditions. In spring, old and dead canes should be removed as well as canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back remaining canes by one-third. Colder climates require more pruning and winter protection.

NOTE: Tree and patio roses are hardy to Zone 6 regardless of the rose variety grafted to their tops.
