Heirloom Roses Purple Rose Plant - Ebb Tide™ Purple Floribunda Rose Bush, Live Roses Plant for Planting Outdoors

I bought this in late fall and planted it in the ground in humus-rich soil. As advertised, it blooms in the first year after you plant it. Mine bloomed in late winter through late spring in SE Virginia, zone 8. The blooms are fragrant and lighter in color than advertised because this rose doesn't reach its darkest color until its aged a few years. Heirloom Roses website also states this. Despite the brighter magenta color in this first year, the rose is still pretty and a fast grower even without fertilization in its first year before its bloom time. I give my plants 1 growing season to adjust to their new soil unless it shows signs of deficiency. I'm about to fertilize in a day or 2 with the recommended liquid fertilizer and it's already mid-June.

Friend loves the rose!

Wow, AI planted this and it just took off, outgrowing my current rose bushes. I cant wait for the blooms. You receive such a healthy and hearty plant.

Arrived very healthy.

I bought five different varieties of these very expensive roses and every single plant rapidly died, mostly from Blackspot. I just now discovered the last living rose has a heavy thrip infestation that seemingly popped up overnight. None of my other plants have any disease or pest problems. I sprayed the thrips with Neem and am keeping my fingers crossed. I have grown roses and other plants for many years and have rarely had problems with diseases or pests. If I do I use organic methods, such as Neem oil and insecticidal soap.. I did get a refund for one rose (Ebb Tide), but the seller wasn’t very friendly about it. They made me feel like I was a bumbling yokel gardening for the first time in my life. They offer a guarantee but the conditions you have to meet make it too intimidating to claim. They found fault with me for not being able to plant the roses outside right away, but In their guarantee it says roses that can’t be planted right away can be held for up to six weeks. They shipped the roses over six weeks from our frost free date. The ground wasn’t workable yet and we were still getting snow and ice storms. I received one refund for Ebb Tide. Apparently something is very wrong with one specific rose I bought because it was withdrawn from sale until it was ‘up to their standards’. I will never buy from Heirloom Roses again no matter how lovely their roses look on the website.

It look exactly how they described it worth every penny i bought 6 different so far from the same seller

Product arrived earlier than expected, appears healthy no spider mites but compared to the bush I order 2months ago this one seems like it want bloom this year. I purchase it because the previous rose bush came so nice, pretty and has had more than 10 beautiful mauve Not purple roses as advertised. So decided I'd try again to get this purple roses bush and just a little disappointed that this plant from same seller appears smaller, no signs of buds looks more like dormant plant mid summer. Finger crossed it will bloom before the summer and/or fall season ends. No fragrance as there are no blooms or leaves. Almost a month later, few leaves and that about it. No sign of a bloom in sight. Considering returning in the window of 30 days for fear of another bush that lack color purchased. I'll give the product one more week. 3rd August and finally 2 very small blooms, not as advertised again not purple but magenta. 8 August, about 5 weeks from receipt and this very expensive rose bush is yet another failure. Purchased as you can see from the tag a Purple Ebb Rose bush but this bloom is deep pink or magenta not what I purchased. Requesting refund as this was my second attempt at buying a purple bush from this seller.

Came in great condition, and very healthy.
