Give your garden a heaping helping of flamboyance with this unique beauty. Its lush, vibrant, 3½” blooms are a medley of purple, lavender and white stripes and flecks—and no two look exactly the same! Each fully double bloom has as many as 40 petals. Regardless of where Purple Tiger is planted in your landscape, it will certainly become a focal point when in bloom. But this charmer isn’t content to merely coast on its attractive appearance: Its powerful fragrance of citrus blossoms fills any area of the garden it occupies. Or snip a few, place them in a vase and then prepare to be amazed as the perfume of the flowers fills the entire room. This floribunda performs best in cooler conditions. Rosa cv. ‘JACpurr’
