Description
All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 1984 | Fragrance Medal at Madrid

Intrigue Floribunda Rose is a rare treasure with its mesmerizing deep plum-purple blooms and intoxicating citrus-sweet fragrance. This award-winning floribunda rose combines the elegant form of a hybrid tea with the lush, clustered blooms of a floribunda. Intrigue dazzles in flower beds, borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements with continuous, breathtaking color that lasts throughout the growing season.

Bred from the beloved White Masterpiece and Heirloom roses, Intrigue boasts a high petal count, magnificent ruffled form, and rich, jewel-toned blooms. The symmetrically shaped plum-purple, double flowers span about 3 inches in diameter and appear in clusters of three to four blooms per stem, blooming repeatedly from late spring through fall. The velvety texture and striking contrast of the dark, glossy green foliage make the flowers pop, creating a stunning visual effect. Each bloom carries an undeniable presence with a showcase of color.

Beyond its dramatic color and impeccable form, Intrigue is popular for its lively fragrance. Unlike many modern floribundas, which often sacrifice scent for visual appeal, this rose emits a bold citrus perfume with undertones of sweet fruit, creating a luxurious and romantic atmosphere in the garden. The fragrance is pronounced but not overpowering, making Intrigue Floribunda Rose perfect for planting near walkways, patios, and outdoor seating areas where its lovely, refreshing, long-lasting scent can be enjoyed up close.

This hardy, upright shrub reaches a mature height of three to four feet and spreads about the same, so it's an excellent choice for small and large gardens. Its well-branched, dense habit makes it ideal for beds, borders, and containers, where it thrives with proper care. The compact size of Intrigue Floribunda Rose means it will not overpower smaller gardens, while its abundant blooms make a strong visual statement wherever it is planted.

Gardeners appreciate Intrigue Floribunda Rose for its strong disease resistance, particularly against common rose issues like powdery mildew and black spot. For best results, Intrigue should be planted in full sun, receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. It thrives, as roses do, in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and performs best with consistent moisture, though it should never sit in waterlogged conditions. Roses are heavy feeders, benefitting from regular applications of a balanced rose fertilizer throughout the growing season. Spring pruning is recommended to remove dead or crossing canes and encourage vigorous new growth. In colder climates, trimming back canes by one-third in winter helps protect the plant and ensures a strong start the following season.

A lovely rose! I bought this rose because it was really discounted and had an interesting color. It far exceeded my expectations. I have it in a partial shade location that gets bright afternoon sun which it seems to like. The blossoms are a deep magenta purple just like the picture and the smell is not strong but interesting. Glad I got this on!

Strong grower, but ...
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

This bush is a strong grower with many flowers on the first blooming after planting the bare root version. But the flowers are not as dark as pictured and the edges of the flowers tend to fade to white with age. Also, the fragrance is not strong and fruity, instead the fragrance is moderate and perfume like, very similar in scent to Mister Lincoln, which is a scent I really don't care for. I must say I'm a little disappointed with this one.

Can't beat the flower color or scent but my plant had some problems with black-spot. Perhaps they need a dry climate to do their best.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I bought this rose to add to my Rose Garden, which is only Purple, Lavender, Peach and Orange. This rose stands out of over 46 roses. Everyone asks me for the name and where I bought it. When dealing with this company you are dealing with a first class company, who take pride in their products and maintain a proper attitude towards customers. They are more than willing to take the time to answers questions and have even got the Green House Masters on the phone to answer my questions. I live in a zone 5a and only plant own root roses and have never loss one to winter, usually have to wait for winter to go away and hope for early spring, but they come back and grow 3' to 6' feet high, depending on the style of each rose. I do bed them down for winter but not with a lot of work. cover their feet and wait for spring. I do not prune in the fall. After old man winter takes his cut of branches, I wait to see where the new grow is coming from and where the dead canes start, simply prune in between those.

Choosing Your Roses

Bare root roses are the most common form of roses for spring and early season planting, and come in two types: grafted and own root.

Grafted Bare root Roses
Own root Bare root Roses

Grafted roses, sometimes referred to as budded bare root roses, have roots that belong to a different variety of rose than the shoots. While the shoots will grow into the variety of rose you've selected, the root variety has been specially grown and developed for hardiness, improved resistance to common diseases, and improved resistance to certain weather conditions. The roots on any grafted rose you receive are usually already two years old, so they'll establish in your garden more quickly when planted.

Own root roses are grown from rose shoot cuttings and develop their own root system. Unlike grafted roses, both their roots and shoots come from the same variety of plant.


All Jackson & Perkins bare root roses are maintained in a suspended state of growth in our state-of-the-art wet cooler, so they'll be delivered to you with no foliage or blooms. The wet cooler has a uniform storage temperature set just above freezing and uses a fog system to provide consistent humidity of 100%, ensuring the roses remain fully hydrated and don't exit dormancy before leaving our facility. While you might see some variance in size, even within the same variety of bare root rose, all our roses meet the same rigorous standards of quality.

So, not sure which type of bare root rose you should choose? Don't worry, we've got that covered. We've researched which varieties of bare root roses grow better as grafted or own root, and both types can be planted in the early spring months, so just choose the variety of rose you're most interested in and get planting.

Though you might be surprised or intimidated when you receive a box of bare root roses filled with roots and shoots, rest assured, with the proper care, these little bundles will grow into stunning roses.


Container Roses

Container Roses

container roses are typically available in 2-quart sizes or larger and come with established foliage that may or may not have blooms. While bare root roses should generally be planted in early spring, container roses allow you quite a bit more flexibility in planting time, from spring all the way through fall in many zones. Fall can be a good season to plant container roses because it allows them enough time to establish themselves before cold or freezing temperatures arrive.
