Celestial Night Floribunda Rose – Buy Roses

Introducing a newcomer that is sure to make a name for itself in the gardening world—Celestial Night™. This fabulous Floribunda type was bred from Ebb Tide, that wonderfully productive purple rose that is still popular today. But what Ebb Tide lacked in disease resistance, Celestial Night has in spades. Very rare in a purple variety, it displays resistance to the diseases that can plague rose growers and cause reduced flower production and shorter blooming periods. With Celestial Night, you get an abundance of big, double ruffled blooms of deep plum-purple on a hardy, rounded plant. In fact, the roses are so full and vibrant, they can easily be seen from a distance. Its pleasing, subtle fragrance makes it an exceptional landscape rose. Also makes a superb addition to fresh arrangements. Bred by Christian Bedard. Rosa cv. ‘WEKebtigrad’ PPAF

We are delighted to announce that Celestial Night™ Floribunda Rose has won the 2023 Members Choice Award from American Rose Society.

Also winning the American Garden Rose Selections™ 2022 Regional Choice Award in 3 regions – South Central, Southeast, Southwest, and is a 2022 Fragrance Award Winner!
