Floribunda Rose 'Intrigue'

LOVELY!
if you can't keep this one alive even in TX droughts, you better hang it up.

This is a gorgeous rose. Violet in color and nothing quite like it that I've grown before. I planted Intrigue last spring, despite our ...Read Morehorrible wet summer this rose came through without a smidge of blackspot or mildew. A little slow to repeat, (that might of been from lack of sun) it was well worth the wait for the second flush in late summer. It came through our mild winter with lots of new growth. I've just planted a new Intrigue tree rose and look forward to the beautiful display of blossoms this summer. This is definately a rose for people who like purple.

Bought 4 Intrigue plants this spring. Each planted in different spot in my yard to see where it likes living best. So far it likes being ...Read MoreEVERYWHERE! Morning sun/afternoon shade... Morning shade /afternoon sun...All Day Sun! I love it!

I planted Intrigue aproximately one month ago in the outdoor summer heat of PHX and to my surprise with water everyday I actually have ro...Read Morese buds appearing. This was one of the last three that the nursery had when I picked it up and it was in terrible shape. However it is steadily growing now.

This is the third season for the Intrigue in my container garden. I got it as a bare root and planted in February 2008. I was drawn to ...Read Moreit by the lable, 'Award Winner'! Yes, it kept up to my expecations. Fragrance fills the air when it blooms and I would say it is a great bloomer for being in a 4 gallon container. I water it regularly, just use coffee grounds and no chemical fertilizer. I cultivate around the plant and use wood chip mulch. The key is I trim the branch once the blooming is done. Cut flowers stay fresh in the vase for a week, if I keep changing the water every 2 days.

I purchased my Intrigue rose at a clearance sale. It was one of the last 3 the nursery had, and it looked really sad. However, it made ...Read Morea wonderful comeback and now produces the most beautiful purple blossoms with the most heavenly scent I have ever smelled in a rose. I have had no problems with disease, other than a touch of mildew, which most all of my roses suffered from this year. This is my favorite rose in my garden.

I have this rose as a potted tree-style rose. Blooms are great--nice, strong fragrance, unique purple-ish color. No problems with blacksp...Read Moreot, mildew or anything else.

I'm not quite sure how to protect it for winter in Wisconsin though...

My intrigue is now on its second season. Planted last season this plant was servely damaged by a grubb attack. It made it through the zon...Read Moree 6 winter, but i decided to remove it for something that would grow better. i was going to can it but decided to keep it and grow it in a planter.

Wow,this rose had a great comeback. It has had a serious growth spur, with 4 new canes and has given 3 flushes so far. The roses are a deep plum pointed and very fragrant approx "3" in size. I have never had any blackspots, or mildew on this rose. It has been disease resistant. The flowers donot lose their color, they do not fade, not even in the hot sun, they keep their color from start to finish.

Great addition to any garden.
